Enlarging the FOV did the trick. It is working fine now. arto

Sometimes there are just a few stars on the simulated image. My FOV is 17x13 arc mins and I have downloaded and selected the G16 star database. Usually there are more than enough stars for plate solving, but sometimes less than five. Focal ratio is f/2. Is there any (other) adjustment for the amount of stars? More is better. arto

Running this https://ascom-standards.org/alpyca/alpaca.camera.html#example-acquiring-an-image-creating-fits-image python example I noticed that the API function to get "lastexposurestarttime" is not implemented. It is not needed for my use case, but maybe you would like to implement it. Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\oksanart\OneDrive - Tietoevry\Documents\sirius\pyrade\camera_test.py", line 60, in <module> hdr['DATE-OBS'] = c.LastExposureStartTime ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File...

Installing the new version did the trick. Your internal alpaca telescope is now answering from for example: http://localhost:11111/api/v1/telescope/0/declination Thanks!! I will work on with my script. arto

You mean the radio button? Mount tab "Alpaca interface"? Yes it is selected. Not working. And netstat does not show it. I will try the new version. arto

With Firefox (http://127.0.0.1:11111/setup/v1/telescope/0/setup) on the same computer I get "Unable to connect". Alpaca server details: "127.0.0.1" and Port Number: "11111". Simulation running. Should I see something on the log? There is just "Error: 99 Can't assign requested address". What does it mean? netstat -at does not show anything on port 11111. arto

Sorry, but I still dont understand. Is the URL and port on the Alpaca page for the internal Alpaca server? If I put there URL 127.0.0.1 and port 11111, I cannot connect to Telescope('127.0.0.1:11111', 0). Can you give an example for a working setting and the corresponding URL to connect? arto

I am developing an Alpyca telescope driver. It is currently running on RasperryPi against a telescope hardware simulator (Arduino Uno) both sitting on my desktop, but will be soon controlling a real telescope. I was hoping to connect Sky Simulator to the Alpyca driver and simulate polar alignment errors with it for making a pointing model for the telescope. The Alpaca client is very simple. In python something like this. import time from alpaca.telescope import * T = Telescope('192.168.8.2:5555',...
