Stellarmate - Kstars/Ekos

Kstars/Ekos/Stellarmate & I have been mutually respective adversaries for a year now, since Lockdown#1.
Despite various crashes & bugs, overall it's been pretty awesome using automation & most of the issues were caused by user error ie: mine!

After the latest upgrade to SM 1:5:9, I couldn't get plate solving to work. Many wasted nights later I reached out to Jasem (the software developer) in Kuwait.

He solved them personally by team viewer last night!
Seems I was missing two critical index files that I hadn't downloaded, which for reasons of size, weren't included in the system upgrade.

Jasem patiently worked it though & tested it all with me for 2-3 hours, at no charge. All fixed now, I'm a happy guy again - how's that for service? 😇

I'm heading out today to purchase a second card to load up with all these correct settings as a backup! 😀

Nice one Andy, but did it respect you in the morning

I keep meaning to give this a try…but the weather has been so poor this year so far any clear nights are precious.

I stopped using Stellar Mate on the RPI and moved to a KStars install on a Linux distro (Ubuntu on a mini-PC). Been stable ever since. And the Wi-Fi doesn't drop-out anymore. The Wi-Fi on the RPI is abysmal.
