Description holger 2023-02-04 19:32:11 UTC 
SUMMARY
***
Entering the telescopes features appears fine, but reopening it, shows that focal length of telescopes is 0.0mm always.
Guider setting in EKOS shows XXX for aperture, focal length, F/D. FOC is YYxYY
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. in EKOS: open profile editor
2. in the last line, where the telescopes are defined, select (+)
3. define a telescope with aperture and focal length (NAme, Newtonian, 150,00mm 750,00mm)
4. Save and close the form
5. in the last line (with telescopes), click (+) again to review the setting
6. select the previously defined telescope: Focal length is 0.0, while the aperture was saved.

Setting is relevant for guiding. (Where guiding is actually the reason why I am using this)

OBSERVED RESULT
Focal length 0.0

EXPECTED RESULT
focal length 750.00 (as set)

Maybe not a bug. At least not a severe one. Problem occurs, since I attached the mount via indi. Telescope and guider scope needs to be defined in the mounts' settings (why ?). These values are taken and accepted then. Nevertheless, confusing!
