Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for a motorized flat panel. I have a Skywatcher 120 triplet. The most important feature to me is it has to support INDI and work very well within EKOS. I shoot with a asi2600mc pro with both broadband and narrowband filters. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I was wondering if it might be time to add a sticky post to the Astroberry forum to recommend not using Astroberry for new deployments.
I really do appreciate all of the effort Radek put into Astroberry and this is not to minimize that effort. I believe Radek was intending on releasing an updated and modernized version of Astroberry, but that has not materialized yet. This is very unfortunately, because Astroberry has considerable mindshare in the Linux astro community.
I feel like the current state of Astroberry hurts the community more than it helps at this point. There are still people trying to use Astroberry, but not much to inform them that any problems they experience are probably not going to receive attention.

Thanks for help, but I tried it before.
It crashed either. Maybe it is the same code.

I installed Ubuntu on an internal SSD I purchased for the Quieter 4C and have it boot from that (preserving windows on the machine if I every wanted that for some reason). I'm using Nou's install on the SSD, so I dont' use Stellarmate at the moment on it. Not sure what the requirements are for the "remote" tablet or phone, but I'm sure that's easily found.

Hello I am trying to connect some astro equiptment to kstars through ekos and indi on a fresh install of astroberry on a rpi4. Most of it is connecting fine but I am not able to connect to my 2" Esatto focuser. lsusb sees the focuser is present.
It is the cygnal integrated products line. I have tried adding both Esatto Arco and just the Esatto in the device manager web page.
I see errors that esatto is offline in the log.
Selecting the port doen't appear to do anything.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can try to get this connected? I know the hardware is functional, I can control it successfully from windows.

I use a Mele mini (the PCG02 version), I yanked Windows and installed Stellarmate on it. I control it from a cheap small Android tablet. All working good.

Hello
is it possible to run Stellarmate on a Mele Quieter 4 running Win 11 on the Scope, and run the Stellarmate ‘remote’ program on a tablet or phone, having no Pi hardware at all?
Thanks! David Diaz

Hello,
I got a new CMOS (Omegon vtec571 = ToupTek ATR3CMOS26000KMA). The INDI Touptek (2.1) driver crashed immediately. I have generated a logfile. What can I do?

Hi everyone
System is Stellarmate OS 1.8.1 running on an rpi4 and using VNC to access from Macbook. First, I would like to say everything is working and I am getting good results. My concerns are with interpreting aspects of the analyze tab. Last night I was taking 30 sec. exposures with dithering every 5 exposures(one pulse dither). In the screenshot it can be seen that at dither, sometimes, but not always, movement can be seen in the ra or dec directions. These movements are not seen in the guide graph in the analyze tab by the way.Question is, why are these movements in RA or dec not seen at each dither in the analyze graph. In the red rms curve why are these movements taken into consideration to calculate rms values since guiding is actually suspended during dither. Any help would be appreciated.

Also the INDI nightly build does not yet exist for Ubuntu 24.04 on Raspberry Pi:

Ah! I bet there was some compile flag that controls this feature. Maybe it was set for the Apple silicon builds but not for Intel.
Is the original poster also on Intel?

> I assume this happens when INDI starts and connects to the focuser. Is there any logging of what it reports?
I assume most drivers will query the focus position regularly, e.g. every second. Mine does.
If you enable driver logging for your focuser, you'll probably see these values, though I suppose that depends on the driver.

I have the exact same build on my Mac and I don't see it. What macOS are you running? I have the most recent Sonoma 14.4.1 on an Intel iMac. Here is what the View menu looks like:
