Description Stanley Fertig 2020-01-24 21:38:40 UTC
SUMMARY
Plate solving using Astrometry offline crashes immediately.  

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Slew to a target
2. After kStars says it's tracking it, click on "Capture and Slew"
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT

2020-01-24T16:23:16 Solver failed. Try again.
2020-01-24T16:23:16 Error starting solver: Process crashed
2020-01-24T16:23:16 Starting solver...
2020-01-24T16:23:16 Solver iteration #1
2020-01-24T16:23:16 Image received.
2020-01-24T16:23:13 Capturing image...
2020-01-24T16:23:02 Detected Astrometry.net version 0.76
2020-01-24T16:18:21 World Coordinate System (WCS) is enabled. CCD rotation must be set either manually in the CCD driver or by solving an image before proceeding to capture any further images, otherwise the WCS information may be invalid.
2020-01-24T16:18:20 Idle.

EXPECTED RESULT
Expect plate solving to find the object, not crash.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Because this was happening repeatedly, I entirely erased my MacBook Air and did a fresh install of OS X, then Xcode, then kStars.  Added ALL the Astrometry files.  Set up HomeBrew, Python 3* and Astrometry in kStars.  Note:  I repeatedly got a "Python installation failed" message when setting up Python in kStars so installed Python 3 using Terminal.  Ekos now says that Home-brew, Python and Astrometry are "already set up."  But it won't work.  Am very frustrated.
