Nevermind, it seems that the download was corrupted or something. I redid it and now it builds successfully. I did a bit of preliminary testing and it seems to work alright now. I'll return with more data when the next clear night comes around.

I'm trying to build using the terminal in the latest version of KDE Neon (which is based on Ubuntu 22.04)

I checked the nightly PPA but couldn't find the driver for Svbony CCDs there (only for the 305). I also tried building from indi-3rdpary but cmake is throwing out errors.

Some quick tests in NINA yesterday had the camera perform just right. I'll also try INDI+Kstars in Windows later today when I get home. Also, I can confirm what Frederick said, that up until about 4-5 weeks ago, when I last used the camera, everything worked alright.

Hello! When I tried last night to shoot M31 the driver for my SV405CC really didn't want to cooperate. First it'd crash mid-exposure or while downloading the frame. I reinstalled it and thought that fixed it but the frames kept coming in with an abysmal SNR, which paradoxically seems to get worse the longer the exposure length is. I've attached below a screenshot of 10s, 60s and 300s frames in that order from left to right. If needed I could run some tests and send some logs. In case anyone encountered this issue before, do you know of any way I could fix it?
PS: I'm running Kstars 3.6.7 and INDI 2.0.4.

Kstars version 3.6.3 Stable. I don't know if this is what caused it but I manually stopped and restarted the capture before the issue arose.

This is like the second time it happens and I lose almost an entire night's worth of work. Doesn't seem to be caused by anything, just happens at random. Here's the log if it helps:

Hello! When I image a target that starts out within 2hrs of the meridian I start with the mount already meridian flipped so I don't have to bother with that later on (such that the counterweight starts a bit higher than the scope). However, this comes with the issue that the the mount moves in the wrong DEC direction. I tried enabling "flip N/S" in the INDI control panel and while it does what it's supposed to do when sending manual commands through the mount control, selecting a target in Kstars and slewing to it still moves in the opposite direction. Any suggestions on how to get this working? Thanks!
