With same behavior do you mean the 1-1.6s bug or that ~50% of the exposures are "bias"?
Anyway, two days ago I successfully run a scheduled session on M27. Start after twilight, align, autofocus, guiding and several 300s exposures until halt at dawn everything fully automated by EKOS and it worked flawless! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Great! Are you using the stock INDI ZWO driver or you used updated SDK from ZWO?

I'm using the SDK I posted above, as I said there is still this bug between 1s and 1.6s. And it is only working with 45% bandwidth limit and USB 2.0. But aside of this it seems to work. According to Yang the problem comes from the libusb they are using.

I mean with same behavior the 1-1.6s bug, I have no problems with losing half of my exposures. I used the SDK provided in the message right above with the latest hithub driver, and the 45% bandwidth limit and USB 2.0 settings I didn't change.

Yes the SDK I posted only fixes the problem of losing half of the exposures. The 1-1.6s bug is still there and Yang is working on it.

Hi Guys,
How did you test the ASI1600? I could not make mine work with indi. It works like a charm with linguider though it is not a guiding camera :)
I tryed with the indi ppa but it did not work. then I got the latest sources from SVN and built the latest ASI driver to no avail. Any help is welcome.

In this post indilib.org/forum/ccds-dslrs/1326-zwo-as...d.html?start=24#8959 you can find the newest SDK (not officially released). Then you need to rename one file from .a to .bin and build the driver yourself. Very important: It does only work with USB2.0 and you should set the bandwidth to 45. The only known remaining bug is that exposures from 1s to 1.7s are broken otherwise the driver works fine and I already run two sessions. Yang the driver developer from ZWO is working on the issue.

This is strange. I am linguider developer and I created the linguider driver tested the camera with linguider. it works just fine with all settings of bandwidth... never tied usb3,0... This is quite strange...

Is there a repo for linguider or is it closed source? Otherwise can you look at Jasems driver perhaps you can spot some issues in the code?

I presume you mean Github? We're not using Subversion anymore. Also, INDI/PPA is in a flux yesterday and today due to a major update so drivers might not be working correctly. Please wait until tomorrow's PPA build (or you can now build libindi first then indi-asi from Github).

Yes lin-guider is free and its code is used for the Ekos native guider.
This is the repo: git://git.code.sf.net/p/lguide/code, please use branch master1 , it is very close to becoming Lin-guider 4.0...
also please install the latest .so file from the ZWO SDK. I believe it was named libasicamera2.so (please mind your architecture).
It works well with exposures over 1s and for some reason first 1 or 2 frames come out are broken and then it works well. Unfortunately I can not use lin-guider for imaging...

I wish I could take a look at it as I planned to test the camera and possibly make some nice pictures this weekend but looks like I will have to work on another project this weekend. So I hoped for a ready solution...

I updated indi this morning but no cigar...
The strange thing that I saw is that I can not set gain. The tab with the specific camera settings does not appear. I have asi224 for lin-guider development and tests and I saw additional tab when I connected it with all stuff like gain, bandwidth, WB etc...
