Stellarium and Astrophotography Tool(APT)

[John Collins]

In APT I get the following error messages when trying to connect to Stellarium:

2022/08/16 20:53:36 (UT 2022/08/17 03:53:36)    OpErr    Connecting to Stellarium problem (5)
2022/08/16 20:53:36 (UT 2022/08/17 03:53:36)    OpErr    Charset must be iso-8859-1, utf-8, utf-16, utf-16le, or utf-16be to be extracted.

The developer of APT say that the second message is coming from Stellarium.

Does anybody know what it means?

I have followed all the setup instructions in Stellarium to connect to APT.

Stellarium version  0.22.2-3d47d9a [HEAD]

APT version 4.01

I have included screenshots of my Remote Control Plugin Configuration.

Please use the official release 0.22.2. From time to time the RemoteControl protocol changes, and these weeks are such times where we have an unfortunate incompatibility. I cannot say what exactly causes this error.

That fixed the problem
