I know some people have issues when using two ZWO camera at once. I get this now and then and want to eliminate that from my setup.
I'm trying to find the most stable platform and have been using Astroberry and Stellarmate, and a laptop on Mint. -The Pi4 will be my go to though.
I use a 294mc as my main camera and an ASI 120mm mini to guide. Any recommendations for a reliable guide camera that will not cause trouble with the 294?
I see the Loadstar is recommended but 600 bucks is a lot.
I also have a ASI224mc that I can use, but haven't tried.
I find fewer drivers to be better, so chose a ZWO guider to go with ZWO mains. If the pair does not work, there is usually a good chance that the main will not work by itself either, so reverting 1 driver allows things to work again.
Right now is a good example, where the new ASI camera SDK appears to be causing some problems for myself and others. Reverting to the previous version, and both cameras work again.
I currently guide with a 290MM Mini, and quite like it.
