Several weeks ago I was having no success downloading images through a Raspberry Pi2 running Ubuntu Mate to my desktop running Fedora 24. I tried both a ZWO ASI120MM and an Atik 314L. Both would connect neither would download. After updating indi library to 1.3.0, Kstars to 2.7.0 and atikccd to 1.9 both cameras work splendidly with relatively short download times (1 or 2 seconds) from the observatory I am building about 50m distant. I want to thank knro, polakovic and lupinix for all their hard work in making this happen.

Have you experienced any of the recent issues with ASI 120 exposure looping?

In a word yes.Three weeks ago I could guide fine with the internal guider. . then the image quality with the guider deteriorated to the point where I could not get a reliable image to guide with. The strange thing is that it seems to work fine with phd2 on the pi 3. I I have not had a chance to look at the logs. 2 nights ago after successfully guiding with phd2 I tried with the internal guider and got the continuous looping problem.

I wanted to buy one. But I'm not sure any more. Would you still recommend it?

When it works it is a nice guide camera. Were I to guess I think these issues will eventually be solved particularly if ZWO releases the source code. But who knows how long it will take. I will probably sell my asi120mm and use my 314l+ as a guide camera and 353l as the imaging camera. It is a tough choice. other good guiders are much more expensive.
