I was wrong regarding my finding about querying the exposure control.  I switched my code to run exposures asynchronously and I am still receiving exposures in twice the expected time.

I will work on generating the debug logs from the indiserver.

Hello Hades,

<<  How can I now compile it? >>

Clone my repo again (github.com/thx8411/indi-3rdparty.git), or just update your local copy if you still have it.

your "libsv305" should already be up to date.

You just have to build and install the "indi-sv305" package :

in a dedicated folder :

>cmake <path to you local git clone>/indi-sv305/
>make
>sudo make install

If you want to test it before the installation, just launch :

>indiserver ./indi_sv305_ccd

like your already did before.

Best regards !

Hi !

First light for my SV305M Pro this evening.
Jupiter imaging with Ekos.

A wanted to try "full spectrum" imaging. Bad idea, my pictures are messy on my Mak (no IR/UV filter on the camera).
Rofl ! No way to get a sharp focus...

But I'm pretty happy :

- 88 GB of data, no crash, no issues
- up to 240 fps at 960x540 8 bits
- at half gain, 1ms exposures !

Best regards !

Thx8411

Hi folks!

My blurry Jupiter...

 

SV305M Pro, full spectrum on a Mak 127/1900, no barlow.

Full spectrum imaging on a not fully reflective telescope, low in the sky isn't a good idea, lol !

Best regards,

Thx8411

Thanks! I just received my SV305 Pro a couple of days ago. I can capture normal images just fine (still to need to adjust some settings) but the video feed is always black, what's going on there?

Hello Hades,

Are you sure you have cfitsio-dev and indi-dev installed ?

Best regards,

Hi Collin, no, I am not sure. I have tried this on a fresh installation on my Intel NUC. Previously I have tested on a laptop. How can I find out if these two libraries are installed?
Anyway, I have tried to connect the camera and it worked. I have created darks library and also checked if camera reacts in different light conditions.
With regards,
Hades

Hi Jasem,

Sorry about that.

You have the SV305 Pro (color), not the SV305M Pro (mono), right ?
Which version of the driver do you have ?
On Intel or on Arm ?

I noticed that some settings (ROI, Binning and gain) don't apply to LiveView, unless you trigger a normal capture before.
Could you push the gain at max, and record a couple of frame in a ".ser" file ?

Could you also send me the driver logs ?

Thanks a lot,

Best regards,

Thx8411

Sure, this is the color version.

Took 3-frame SER file, however SER player complain of 0 width file: www.dropbox.com/s/d66cnlj94inrzg2/indi_r...%4007-40-22.ser?dl=1

I didn't do any ROI, took full frame. The video looked fine when streaming when I adjusted the gain, so that's taken care of.

Hello Jasem,

Thanks.
Right, in your ser file, frame size fields are empty (0).
Weird...

I can't reproduce the issue, with both the 1.2.6 (actually available in your launchpad) and the 1.2.9 (my last version) versions.

Do you know what could produce this issue :

<< ROI, Binning and gain don't apply to LiveView, unless you trigger a normal capture before >>

Am I doing something wrong ?

Best regards,

Thx8411
