Hi all,

I just updated to latest KStars 3.6.8 and all drivers, now the problem is that usually I get image downloaded in about 3-4 seconds but now it takes much longer..

Hi all,

Just tested the latest stable version of KStars and was looking for objects for tonight if weather stays ok..

Hi John,

Thank you for the information, I'll try that tomorrow by setting overscan to 0.
I haven't seen any backlash so far but will keep an eye on it.

Problem solved!
When looking at all the settings for autofocus it seems that there is some settings there that interfere when I just want to manually change the focussetting, so I'm not sure why this is happens but it does, I think the settings for autofocus should affect just autofocus but I can be wrong about that.

Hi all,

I have this recording to share with you, unfortunately no log but will post one soon.
Focusing test...
I change focus and the focuser goes wrong for some reason, then I click the run-button again and the focuser goes to where I wanted.

I use latest stable kstars/INDI.

Have you tried to resolve both images in ASTAP or some other way just to see if there is a difference, or if you check the FITS header if that shows something interesting, but maybe the log will make things clear.

Hi Peter,

To me it looks like cone error, there is a way to fix it, just google and you will find the answer.

Hi Steve,

I think I found a solution for the issue with colors, take a look here: free-astro.org/index.php?title=Siril:FITS_orientation/en
It seems it have something to do with a FITS-Keyword "TOP-DOWN", I can not test if I'm correct about this because I don't have a color camera.
Not sure if Ekos really 'know' how the image is transferred from camera sensor if it is read from "TOP-DOWN" or "BOTTOM-UP" and then sets the keyword according to that, maybe Jasem could chime in and tell us.
Of course there could be a setting like there is for "Auto stretch" for which way the image is displayed if somebody wold like to have a specific orientation in the fits viewer.

Clear skies!!

Hi all,

Well, let's clear up the issue with upsidedown images.
I don't think there is a bug in KStars FITSviewer, it's just a matter of camera rotation and propably how the image is read from the camera, it could be different for other cameras but i use only SX cameras so I really don't know, in my case I usually rotate my camera upsidedown.
I made some screenshots to show how my SX camera displays images.
Images show the result from different resolves by name of the image so you can compare and come to a conclusion, please take a look.

Seeing Alfred's guiding makes me wonder what the problem could be, I thought it was my mount but couldn't find anything wrong..
This is from another session..

I guess this is a example of "freak aberrations" that happens sometimes..

Now I've installed indi-allsky on Ubuntu 20.04.4, installation went fine but for some reason I had to install opencv manually.
Trying to connect to localhost with Firefox it asks for User/Password.. ?? I tried using my accounts but it didn't accept my credentials, so what credentials do I suppose to use ??
