Simple answer: Yes.
Here are links to the drivers (and these drivers are part on INDI 3rd party):
HEQ5 with EQMod compatible cable: www.indilib.org/telescopes/skywatcher/eqmod.html
SVBony cameras: www.indilib.org/individuals/devices/came...y-sv305-cameras.html
I have used HEQ5 with Ekos/INDI, and currently I am using SVBony SV305PRO and SV605MC. All of these equipment are compatible

Really? I have been assured by SVBony representative that the banding reduction feature is there. Ok, so I will update my installation and check if I have driver based on SDK 1.12.1.
Thank you

Hi, I have found that SVBony released new SDK, version 1.12.1. Is there a plan to use it in upcoming release of INDi drivers? It should implement the banding reduction.

Just select the SVBony driver without any number.

Hi, I got the same answers from SVBony as you. But they replied to me more than 3 months ago and nothing happens yet. I am little bit pessimistic about that.

I am using TSL2591 and it is precise enough. My SQM is able to measure the same values as SQM from Unihedron, with tolerance 10%

Hi Alfred, I have solved this issue: Instead on single-code Arduino, use dual-core ESP32 and rewrite the SQM code

Thank you John. I haven't time to test it yes, too busy

The EQmod driver doesn't know about the index on your RA axis. This index is only used in case the mount runs it's own stored PPEC, so not applied in case of GPG RA.
The EQmod driver can use predefined RA worm cycle period you've entered into the field. Or you can let the Ekos to measure the period, by ticking the option Estimate Period.

I am not sure if I understand the purpose of such checkbox, but if you would like to use for example Luminance filter for focusing (faster) and then apply offset to narrowband filter (slower), for such purpose there is in icon next to filter combobox

Thanks AstroMuni, I also don't see any problematic behavior in the log. What I have done differently is that the first part of the night, before flip, guiding reused saved calibration. Once I seen that it is using it, I have changed the setting to be sure that after flip it will calibrate. And this could be the root cause. I am going to capture also this night, so I will check what will happen after flip, and I will not disable the calibration reuse.

Last night I have a problem after meridian flip: the mount doesn't started tracking and I have nice startrails subs. I have tried to analyze the logs, unfortunately I don't understand them. Can someone please help me to analyze the log?I have trimmed the log to contain only records between last successful capture and first failed one.

Simon, there is no need to use the plug when you are able to remotely connect to the desktop. I am using NUC and it has possibility to enable virtual display in the BIOS.
And instead of VNC, try to use NoMachine, for me it is much better and stable than VNC.

Hi John, yes, the behavior is exactly the same. Here is the log
