Optional FITS file:
If a FITS file is specified, the astrometry solver shall
solve the file and use the central RA/DEC as the target coordinates. You
can select the file using
Directory browser
.
2.
Removes selected FITS file.

Profile:
Select which equipment profile to utilize when starting Ekos. If
Ekos & INDI are already started and online, this selection is ignored.

Steps
: Each job goes through a sequence of discrete steps. Each step
or stage can be toggled on or off as desired:
1.
Track
: Mount is commanded to slew to target.
2.
Focus
: Camera autofocus (if applicable) is started.
3.
Align
: Plate-solving is performed to ensure the correct location,
framing and orientation of the target is met. If a FITS file is
specified in General Settings, then this file is first plate-solved and
then mount is commanded to to slew to target solution
coordinates. This is followed by another plate-solving process to
ensure we are within tolerance at the target solution coordinates. If
the position angle of the FITS image is different from the current
camera orientation, the camera orientation can be automatically
