I'm not throwing in the towel just yet.....didn't mean that..... and I greatly appreciate all the applications and time people put into doing this.......just putting it on the back burner as far as actually using in the observatory until i get everything straightened out...... didn't realize all the time it would take to get this little deck of cards up and running properly that's all. I get EKOS firing away at the DSLR....save all my settings and when i come back and get everything up and running again....nothing but error messages at times with no camera control..... i'm just saying for me it hasn't been consistent yet....and some of that i'm sure is probably on my part since the Pi type computer is a new toy for me and i'm just getting familiar with it....and all the various OS's available. I have a good computer background but just getting my hands wrapped around Linux for the first time also...giving myself a crash course but learning quickly.....that's been a learning curve too not knowing where to go to get reliable OS's to try.....just trying to figure out what works. Astroberry is a great suite and i have it. I think theres a problem when running EKOS on the Mac and just accessing the INDI server on the Pi to run things.....but then again it shouldn't be....If it connects to the DSLR .....which it does..... it should work.......it does......but not all the time which puzzles me.
