Hello,
I tried to search for a similar topics but I did't find anything. My question: is it possible to autoguide the Sky Adventurer via ST-4 if I use a parallel finderscope as guider?
Guiding will be managed via QHY5-II mono and ST-4 using a Raspberry 3.
Thanks in advance,
clear skies.

I'll try it. I thought there were other forum users as developer, you are doing an amazing work!

has anyone from developers team checked whether fits viewer can be optimized?
Thanks and clear skies.

Is the fixed already up? I tried a clean installation but I still have the same problem.

Thanks for the suggestion about running server via web-interface. The problem, anyway, is critical for focus or live view task; in my case a fit file is about 16MB considering about 500MB of free RAM I suppose there could be a resource optimization in FITS viewer, maybe a profiling test can help if it is.
Let's wait what Jasem think about it.
Clear skies!

I confirm I have the same problem: SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007ffff7f2f200 in QSqlDatabase::open() ()

Hello,
I was trying some indoor tests with Pi3 and Ubuntu Mate. before starting I did the update of both Mate and indi. My configuration is:
Mount EqMod (used simulator for indoor test)
CCD Moravian G2-8300
Guide camera: QHY5-II M
I basically tested CCD managing and what I found is memory problem in FITS preview as is reported in the log file:

This happens in capturing if I play with the fit (zoom, autostretch etc) and in focus: in this case is quite impossible to do anything but unpower the Pi3.
In case of crashes, if I run KStars again, Ekos complains about another server is running and asks me whether I want to shut it down. Anyway it can't do it maybe because indi-mi driver is busy or blocked, in fact I can't use the CCD, I have to kill the process by command line.
I know Pi3 has only 1GB of ram but during the normal usage KStars uses less the 50% thanks to the last Jansem commits. I wonder whether FITS viewer could also be optimized, in focusing framing above all.
Last note: windows are not re-sizable so it's very difficult to work with them and sometimes you can't see important footer buttons, maybe a new interface is under developing?
Thanks in advance for your support, I'm available for every test to be performed on Pi3.
Clear Skies,
Giovanni.

This is a great news! It's exactly what I'm trying to do but I have critical problem with Ekos: it does not start indi server if I click on connect as you can see in a post of mine in this thread. How did yoi solve it? Is astrometry fast enough for the Pi platform?
Thanks in advance for your info sharing!

Hello,
how is the situation about Ekos on RPi3 and Ubuntu Mate? I haven't been testing anything for a while so I was wondering whether the reason has been identified at least...
Thanks in advance.
