Will you be able to connect to SV405CC after deleting the following files ?
*Delete the files when KStars is not running.
~/.indi/SVBONY CCD SV405CC_config.xml
~/.indi/SVBONY CCD SV405CC_config.xml.default

This issue is similar to what happens when there are inconsistencies in the structure of the configuration file due to different driver versions.

You should upload the log to this forum, If the problem still occurs.

~ indicates the home directory.
For StellarMate ~ is /home/stellarmate.

Thus, the full paths of the following SV405CC configuration files are as follows
/home/stellarmate/.indi/SVBONY CCD SV405CC_config.xml
/home/stellarmate/.indi/SVBONY CCD SV405CC_config.xml.default

I dont seem to have the .indi folder, maybe that the issue? I downloaded the 3rd party containing the svbony folders but maybe not the .indi?

The . in front of indi makes it a hidden directory in Linux. To see it in your file browser you'll need to find and select the option for "Show hidden files and directories" (or some similar name). You can also try Ctrl-H as a shortcut for this.

I have been using the indigo Svbony driver with some success, but have had no end of difficulties with the indi Svbony driver.

Rebuilding the INDI Svbony driver from source code on the target machine solved my difficulties.

When using the INDI SVBONY driver, my SV405CC is creating 16-bit <strong>mono</strong> FITS images?
When I open the FITS image, using Kstars "fits viewer" , then save the image under a different filename, it becomes RGB, and trebles in size (~24mb to ~75mb)
Any ideas?

I have tried switching between 8-bit, 16-bit, Luma 8-bit and RGB-24 bit modes, but when I switch back to 16-bit mode, I get monochrome FITS files, as reported when opening them in Siril or GIMP.

SV405CC supports mono 8 bit format; it does not support mono 16 bit.
When an exposure is made using "Sequence", the data is correctly saved as mono 8 bit data in monochrome FITS format.

If an exposure is made using "Capture a preview" and saved using "FITS Viewer", the data will be saved in RGB.
I do not know if the behavior of FITS Viewer is a spec or a bug.
