Jeff, nice summary video. I tried to update my horizon and had Stellarium/Windows would not let me save the new landscapes/DDHOI/landscape configuration settings file. I get See the Owner of the file or an administrator to obtain permission. What the heck, I’m the owner of this computer. I suck at Windows. Any advice to make this work? Thx in advance.
Windows will not let you save a file into the Programs Folder. Save the file to the Desktop. Then open a File Explorer window and drag the horizon file into the correct place. Should work and get you going... Hope this helps
Paul I just check my version and it was updated recently. I also checked the Play Store and saw the message saying it isn't compatible with my device. I can assure you that the version on my phone is working. So something has happened in the year since I made this to make this app something that the Dioptra devs no longer wish to have on people's phones... I do know there are other programs of this type in the Play store. Try doing a search for Dioptra and see what pops up... Good Luck...
Paul, I did find this link dioptra-a-camera-tool.en.softonic.com/android Maybe you can sideload the program to your phone... Use at your own risk as sideloading apps is not recommended by Google.
Paul Did you check any of the other links in the Description below the video? For instance GeoCam is web based and is loaded via your browser. I have used that and it worked well. Give it a shot...

On my Samsung S23 Ultra it says the Dioptra Lite app is not compatible with my device and it can't be installed from GooglePlay...

I decided to use my system camera on a tripod. Don't need Dioptra, or any other app anymore :)
Thanks for all your thoughts
It didnt work at first because u hit dont save. Not because it was open
At my age, that is called a brain fart... Thanks for the tip. ;-)
