Thanks both. I'll wait. I'm not setup to build kstars and it would probably
take too long for me to do it.

Thanks Jasem! Cedric, getting this to work under a short amount of time would
require you to extract the code tree in the pre-merge state and cherry-pick
Jasem's change. So it depends whether you are willing to wait 2-3 weeks for the
dust to settle on kstars-bleeding...

There was an issue I just resolved and merged to master as mount module was
reporting ERROR since it wasn't processing EQUATORIAL_COORD

So hopefully this is resolved after our rework on scheduler module it's done.
If you try it now it's probably going to be broken since work is not yet
complete.

Hi TallFurryMan,

Yes I tried to use ansvr, but had problems with Ekos plate solving: ansvr would
most of the time just hang or crash (I don't have issues using it from other
applications). So for plate solving I used astrometry.net. 

BUT, Ekos had originally issues connecting to the mount via wINDI + EQMod
because my system is entirely J2000 and Ekos assumed JNow. Could it be that
it's in fact the opposite that's happening? Ekos assumes JNow coordinates in
its orders to the mount and the mount moves in J2000, taking it further and
further from the target?

Complementary information from the forum thread indicates that you (not sure I
can match usernames, sorry if it's not you!) used the Windows port of
astrometry.net "ansvr", and that this plate-solver provides an additional field
named "epoch". In any case, is this description correct?

In your situation, "epoch" has value "JNow", which indeed is causing an issue
in the solver analyzer in ekos/align/onlineastrometry.cpp, which doesn't check
that json field and bluntly considers all result coordinates to be J2000.

We could either stick to the original astrometry.net API, which doesn't include
that field, or honor that field when it is present. First solution is the
simplest for us :) Second solution can be done too relatievly easy.
