Hello, when I use my cell phone’s camera to acquire the coordinates for my custom horizon, a list is generated. However, when I try to apply it to the “Custom Horizon” box and save, I receive an invalid format error. This is even using the copy and paste feature from the embedded gyrocam software within Telescopious. Please advise.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It seems there’s a new header “Az, El” when copying from [Camera Az/El](https://rkinnett.github.io/gyrocam).

I’ll fix this in the upcoming version, but in the meantime you should be able to make it work just by removing that header manually after pasting the copied value.

Let me know how it goes!

EDIT: sorry, it seems the commas are not working either. I’ll update this topic after I release the fix

This seems to be working fine now on version 250423.1507. Let me know how it goes!
