Could adding/testing this focuser be done online? I could provide 24 hour access to it via internet.

It would be nice to have the aforementioned autofocuser imlpemented in INDI. INDIGO has already built a driver for it

I ran the latest astroberry on a 4gb Rpi4. I am getting use to Kstars/Ekos interface, however it is missing the driver for my autofocuser. I have Astro-Gadget FocusDream Pro and when I am setting up a profile under INDI it does not have the driver for FocusDream Pro.
I have fpund out since that INDIGO, however, does have the necessary driver for my autofocus. I am emailing back and forth with Peter Polakovic, author of INDIGO, and he said INDI cann be configured to use INDIGO drivers. Is there a tutorial on how to do this? I am somewhat computer savvy, so a basic write up would also go a long way.

I am contemplating on buying this camera for guiding mainly. I need to know if indilib (astroberry) will recognize the cam. I have checked the guider cam list under Ekos. I does list Meade, but under its sub menu all it says is Meade deep sky imager. Will this driver work with the USB3 Lpi-G Advanced?

My main imaging camera is an Olympus Em-5. It does not tether with software to control exposure. I do not know a way if the images could be downloaded from the cam to Rpi4.
The guide cam is a ASI224MC and the guide scope is this:

I do not have a captured image with it but I did not notice any star deformation on this scope.
I do understand star deformation, I had that issue with a guide scope before, stars looked horrible and made guiding more difficult as well. This one is pretty good.

I need some help with ASTAP. Anytime I am trying to get a capture solved in Ekos, after saying "starting ASTAP" I always get the message " ASTAP failed". I have downloaded the necessary index files for the offline Astrometry solver, and it works as long as the target is not too far off, but I have some experience with ASTAP from before and I really like it. Find it more reliable too.
What do I need to do to get it running. It is a guider set up with ASI224MC. Picture captures fine, no issues, solving is. I am not even sure if ASTAP is started by Ekos.

Is there any new on this one. I have an EM-5 as well. This particular Oly model is not capable of USB remote capture but it is capable of usb connection to download images from the camera. Is this doable under Ekos?

Thanks, that is exactly what I am looking for. I've tried to search for the thread on CN but was unable to find. Could you recall some keywords I could search the thread by?

Since there is no input on the issue, is it possible to uninstall PHD2 with sudo apt-get- remove phd2 and then reinstall with sudo apt-get-install phd2?
PHD2 was installed with the latest astroberry package, and I don't know too much about how Linux based system works.

Having some problem starting PHD2 in astroberry. I have the latest updates and upgrades. When I click on the icon to start PHD2 it gives me the hour glass for a 10-15 sec but the window never comes up. When I click again it tells me there is an instance already running. After checking with task manager I can confirm that there is indeed a PHD2.bin running there. I can stop/kill this instance from task manager and then start PHD2 again to see the same thing happening again.
It's like it is running, it just refuses to give me a desktop window. How do I fix this issue?

Purged the settings, now everything seems fine but the camera still does not fire the shutter, I get the message, failed to expose, error downloading image from camera: directory not found. Which is of course set and created. I already found images from previous "successful" attempts in this directory.

And now, whiever way I connect to the camera it just doesn't work. Ekos tells me to check indi settings, where I am instructed to check image info as there is no CCD info set. No problem, I try to set it, and no matter how many times I click SET, nothing happens. It won't enter the numbers. If I click to many times it crashes. Did I forget to feed it donuts today?

I will check that out.
A side note, I have both DSUSB and FTDI chip for the camera in subject.

Thanks kross I had no idea that's how Linux sees COM ports. However, I have tried that yesterday without any success. Would the /dev/ttyUSB0 need to be set under Gphoto camera or under Nikon camera driver?
