Thanks for your reply. I’m very new in this game, but I will try to check if I have the latest driver and the latest software on the stellarmate. I have two cameras attached to the stellarmate, the other camera is an altair 183c where there are no problems. So wondering if banding should be a power issue, but maybe I should consider trying a power hub in between.

I'm trying to use the SVBONY 305 pro camera for guiding i Kstars, using the stellarmate on a raspberry pi. Not having great succes. There is a lot of "noise" in the picture compared to pictures taken with the same camera in a different program, eg. SharpCap. When I check the list with supported cameras in ekos, sv305 camera is listed but not the sv305 pro version. I think it could be a problem with the driver. Does anyone know if there is an updated driver or there might be one on the way. I have taken 5 darks with an exposure time between 1 and 5 seconds, gain 200 and bin 1x1. If anyone can use the pictures for something, they are attached as zip file. The attached image is preview of one dark frame in kstars.
