| Summary | 0002862: Unable to connect guide simulator - GSC catalogue not found. | ||||
| Description | Hi Patrick Ive been trying run CCDciel, SkyChart, etc using the simulators and cannot connect the CCD guide simulator. All of the other simulators are reported as connected in CCDciel. In Indistarter client when I try to set the exposure it reports :- “ERROR got no stars, is gsc, installed with appropriate environment variables set??” The GSC catalogue is installed (Downloaded from “https://sourceforge.net/projects/indistarter/“) and installed and the directory location (Documents) selected in the indistarter set up page. I'm not sure what it means by " appropriate environment variables set?" Does it need to be identified in the other programs as well as indistarter. I’m running IndiStarter 2.4.2-220-207-macosx version Cheers, Rob | ||||

Hi Rob, I attache two screen shot that show the setting in Indistarter and the content of the gsc directory, be sure you have something similar. After that you must link the camera and the telescope driver in Indi so the camera simulator know where it is pointing. Set "Snoop device" for the camera simulator to "Telescope Simulator". see screenshot. It is also good to add a focuser simulator so you can adjust the size of the stars in the image. |

Also be sure in the Indi camera Option tab a telescope focal length and aperture is set. |

Hi Patrick, Thanks for the quick reply and information. I reset the location of gsc files again and that issue is corrected. No further messages. I had input in the telescope focal length and aperture but I had not input "Telescope Simulator " this is now done but unfortunately I still cannot connect the CCD guide simulator. every thing else is working. I'm obviously missing something simple. I have tried to search for settings on the INDI website but I have been unable to find any guidance. Any other suggestions would be welcome. Many thanks, regards Rob |
