home/astroberry/.local/share/kstars/astrometry and keep going from there. Instead you can copy all index files to a folder you own eg. I do not recommend going this way because it is just a workaround. Note that if you want to change ownership of all the content of the directory you need to run sudo chown astroberry -R /usr/share/astrometry for recursive action. If you want to go this way you can run sudo chown astroberry /usr/share/astrometry or sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/astrometry respectively. However this is not the best approach as these are set for purpose. What can you do about it? It is not good idea to run KStars as root so you can change ownership of the folder or permissions. This means that you cannot write to this directory as astroberry user. As you can see only owner can rwx, group can r-x and other can r-x. The second one is owned by root user and group and access rights are set to rwxr-xr-x. owner can (r)read, (w)rite and e(x)ecute the directory, group can also rwx but others can only r and x as there is no w permission set to w (dashed). The first one is owned by astroberry user and group and access rights are set to rwxrwxr-x i.e. until it didn't.ĭrwxrwxr-x 2 astroberry astroberry 4096 astrometryĭrwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 /usr/share/astrometry Astroberry worked "out of the box" (that's impressive to me). Not enthused over here in north-coastal California. I have plenty other issues with mount and downloading images that need to be addressed and I really can't troubleshoot plate solving issues and still have time for other things- I have maybe one more clear night before the moonlight rolls in- 4-5hrs of clear skies tonight that could have been better spent. so maybe place detailed instructions there as well? That would be awesome. This isn't on the Wiki for some reason, even though it states "Astrometry for field solving (index files not provided and must be downloaded separately)". Please, for the world to see: line-by-line terminal commands to install all index files on RaspberryPi4 running latest Astroberry so that it may solve remotely and offline. I know I've installed index files in the past, but I can't seem to find the instructions now. Did try to VNC, but I'm trying to use the Pi as a server, not a tunnel. I'm inside with my PC on KStars, watching all sorts of photos for plate-solving come in and fail. Hey, mind if I chime in here and just request a simple line-by-line instruction on how to install all index files on astroberry so that they work with default settings in KStars? I'm trying to remote solve (kind of important on a rare, clear night like tonight when the server goes berserk and disables login.). I am going on one year of fighting the RPi EKOS system and am getting ready to give up. Is there some setting or checkbox in the alignment options that I am missing? I never had plate solve issues with Stellarmate. The files are in another folder that is referenced in nfig and their check boxes are marked when I go to options/index files. Perhaps my field of view is too wide?īy the way, I am unable to copy any files into usr/share/astrometry because of a permissions error. I am using the telescope simulator as my mount. The field of view appears correct in the alignment tab. ZWO120mm Mini on an Orion 50mm guidescope and a ZWO1600mm on the Rokinon 135mm f/2. Images were captured with two different scopes and cameras. The solver fails every time with "Solver failed. In the alignment options, I have placed the correct path to the ASTAP.exe. When installing ASTAP, I got an error saying not all components could be installed. I also downloaded and installed the G17 star index package. I downloaded and installed ASTAP using a Debian package from the ASTAP site. Try again." Online, the image uploads, but the solver times out. Offline, I receive an error message "Plate solve failed. Plate solving failed every time with, both online and offline.
