Ha! I got it figured out, stupid me. I needed to update my version of ASTAP. Works perfectly. Thank you Han. ~Terry

Hello, I was excited to see the video using the Dark Spot Removal Tool, but I cannot get it to work as per the video. All I get is rectangular boxes, no matter what I try or how many times I try. I'm on a M1 Mac. ~Terry

Well, I've continued to "play around" with things. I've slowed things down by increasing exposure times and increasing any delays between actions in NINA, Now it all seems to be working, including the plate solves. Now that Sky Simulator seems to be working just fine (thanks Han) I will continue on with learning APCC. Terry

Thanks Han, I think I may have got it working.

Once I start the simulation and the image file is downloaded, I can then go back to Remote Server Console and setup and configure the Sky Simulator camera to get to the path of the image file. After all that is done I start NINA and then just pick...
