Dear community.
I have Astroberry working fine with one old QHY5 mono camera in INDI/Ekos as a guide camera, installed in a RPi 3 model B.
The camera is completely recognized in INDI/Ekos server and it's working nicely.
The problem is coming when I open Firecapture or Oacapture for planetary imaging. Both programs don't recognize the camera.
Doesn't matter if the server is running or not, the camera is not opened.
I used CCDciel too with the server running and the camera is recognize ok. I'm confused about this.
I will please any help to see if I can solve the problem. Thanks.

Wel the answer is simple. oAcapture and FireCapture do not use the indi camera drivers. They have their own implementation and SDK libaries. If I remember correctly there were very loing discussions on this forum on how to get that camera working on Indi. (can't remember what the problem was). So with the SDK and library these programs are using it's not supported.

Both programs are not part of Indi/Ekos, so you should query with oAcapture or FireCapture .....
