During this time I tried to track via <em>PHD2</em>, but it continues to give the same problem of the INDI-Driver <em>(it also uses the same)</em>: that is, it makes 1 or maximum 2 images and that's it: it no longer responds.

In another forum I read that the <em>AstroDMX-Capture</em> works very well with the SV305 <em>(the pro says nothing)</em>. I have also tried it and yes, the camera never fails and has many control options of it, but of course this program only takes pictures and does not track.
Seeing that it worked I stopped the <em>astroDMx-capture</em> and turned on the <em>ekos</em> to try to take pictures or track ... and nothing worked anymore. Also, once the <em>ekos</em> no longer detected it, I tried to start the <em>astroDMx-Capture</em> again to see if it responded, and no longer responded.
Then, I had to disconnect/connect the camera and reset the RasPi so that some of the programs would detect it again. And worked, of course.

I hope it becomes clear what tests I have done, if you need any feedback or do any tests feel free to tell me and I'll do it.

Thank you and I look forward to your news,

Best,

Pep


Hi Cirera,

I assume you are talking about raspberry pi 4. I got everything working a few weeks ago after many trial and error.

There are 2 things that u need to do just to make it work.

1. in INDI control panel, change the setting from RAW16 to RAW8. Then try to do a capture looping in the GUIDE or FOCUS tab.

2. In PHD2 under INDI camera selection, choose MAIN for Dual CCD and check the Camera does not support the exposure time option. When you do looping in PHD2, a preview will show up, and just minimize it. That's all.

Then you are good to go.

Good luck.

Tom
