That's great news, thanks for the reply. I really look forward to seeing your work when it's released. Can you provide me with any leads on what info is available to the scripts?

I'm still looking into using capture sequence scripts for EAA. I can't for the life of me find any official documentation on their usage, namely if or what arguments may be passed. If there are no arguments or special environment variables to access in the scripts their usefulness seems limited.
Right now I have 4 very thin scripts for each of pre job, pre capture, post capture, and post job. My plan is to use Siril commands to setup the live stacking when ekos starts a sequence and make a rendered jpg or something available on a local webserver. I'll make a webpage that refreshes automatically and chromecast that to my big tv, also prividing a url to share with friends. That would be cool for outreach as well.
Right now there's no integrated EAA / Live Stacking in kstars & ekos. Something like this could be a viable solution.
Can anyone here provide me with details on any possible script arguments? You would think some info about the target and sequence would be available.
Thanks!

Does anyone here do EAA through kstars this way? I think you can feed images to siril that way. There's other linux based live stacker apps that can monitor a directory as well. I figure you can use scripts to help pipe images to a live stacker.
Does Stellarmate do it that way?

I haven't tried to install it yet (haven't pulled the trigger) so I don't know if the installer allows you to manage your partitions and install target. That would be the major hurdle for dual booting and you could deal with grub yourself if you had to after that.

Did you have any luck with this? I also have kstars / ekos running on an existing astro mini pc. I want to do EAA / live stacking so I'm looking into Stellarmate X OS for mini PC.
It would be nice to be able to update my sources.list and install Stellarmate that way.

This is really great, thanks!
Do you suspect there are still inefficiencies or a bug in indi related to this? This is fantastic but do you feel it's a workaround for an actual problem or no?

Hey all, I finally read through the whole thread. I got here from a google search and am having the same prob with my Sky-Watcher Virtuoso GTi 150p using this driver, wired with a usb to st4 cable. Firmware 3.40.
I'm trying to decide if it's worth spending significant energy on fixing this. I guess I have a few questions.
Has anyone made any progress in the last month?
Should I try to tcpdump / wireshark the traffic from Synscan Pro? Has anyone provided that yet?
Does the indi synscan driver work with these mounts? I realise it doesn't quite have the same features but I wonder if the tracking works.
Some people say versions of 1.9.x work. Should we find what version if first broke in and use the diff for clues?
I'm a software dev running kstars / ekos on linux and don't have many options when it comes to mount control.
Thanks for all your efforts!
