@Denis that is really amaizing project!
I have tried alpha version 0.0.20 with indiserver and indi_pylibcamera (github.com/scriptorron/indi_pylibcamera) driver. Connection to indi server was successfull, but when I clicked button "Take shot" I got this error:
Property 'POLLING_PERIOD' of device 'indi_pylibcamera' not found

See attached image.

Thanks for this file! It looks like driver for your camera doesn't support this property.
Fixed in 0.0.22. You can download and test it.

For MS Windows just download archive from `x64-windows_archive`, unpack it anywhere and run `astra_lite.exe`

PS: you can connect to INDI server only remotely in windows version

Thank you, I did not find it, now I look for it and download it.
If that's the idea, I have the INDI server in a RBPi4
Best regards

I am glad to hear it
Just notice: color theme in windows version must be selected manually (by Options -> Color theme menu). Linux version uses OS color theme

wonderful
I've been longing for a live stacking app that works with SBCs such as RaspberryPi.

Is an ARM32 binary also possible?

I tried the Windows version of the binary.

I was able to connect to the Linux INDI driver without any problems, and I could see the camera image.

I didn't really understand the effect of live stacking because I tried it with a simulation driver.
