Not Finding AstroTortilla

#1

Post by dbunna2 »

As per AstroTortilla's new note on SourceForge, I've installed ANSVR and have AstroTortilla point to it for cygwin. My cygwin now starts with:
C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Local\cygwin_ansvr\bin\bash.exe --login -c "%s" As expected, I'm Steve

Starting SharpCap and connecting successfully to my Celestron mount via ASCOM gives me a scope control panel with no AstroTortilla button. I'm guessing that SharpCap isn't finding my cygwin_ansvr install?

Tks

SharpCap expects to find cygwin where the slightly older (0.7) version of AT installed it, which was c:\cygwin by default and was pointed to in the registry too

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AstroTortilla]
"CygwinRoot"="C:\\cygwin\\"

If you create that registry setting and replace c:\cygwin with your path then SharpCap will probably find AstroTortilla for you.

Thanks for the heads up on this - another one for the 2.10 snagging list :)

cheers

regedit did the trick. I now have the plate solve button.
