I just cannot get my new camera QHY268M to work using Stellarmate on RPi4.

I have downloaded the correct software as suggested on QHY's website.







Tried several times to uninstall and re-install but always crashes.

Hi Redek,

Once again thanks for the support.

I really want to get this to work as I like astroberry I really like it.

To answer your question I open KStars and then click on the observatory icon to open EKOS and then clock on start ekos icon.
I agree and understand that the INDI already running I think because I could not see that EKOS was open on the RPi from Remote Desktop and maybe having already opened it and started it from the browser that I just opened it again and started it from the remote desktop which is when it complained.

I think what I need to know is am I alright to run from remote desktop so long as I do not then use the browser or other connection?

If I understood what was meant by server then maybe I would understand a bit more what was going on. I really do not understand what you are referring to by instances of X11 or how this can happen, I always though remote desktop was just that a vision on my remote screen of what the computer I was connected to was doing. I am just not that computer savvy I am afraid.

Steve.

I have come across something odd I do not understand and may explain some issues I have had.

I have been mostly using windows Remote Desktop via ethernet to run the RPi remotely and mostly seems to work fine. occasionally use the browser with " astroberry.local/desktop/ " .

So this time I have used Remote Desktop and all seems to work but I had a monitor and keyboard plugged directly to the RPi as well because I needed to set the configuration for ethernet which it did not seem to let me do remotely.

The odd bit is that screen plugged into the RPI had the astroberry background and I could use the keyboard to open programs such as KStars, EKOS PHD2 etc and they appeared on the screen plugged into the RPi but not on my remote desktop. Conversely I could then open up the same programs on the remote desktop but they did not appear on the screen plugged into rpI.

So I am guessing I have two instances of Astroberry server running somehow.

If I use the browser to operate the Pi then the same appears on the screen as the RPi screen.

So can anybody explain exactly what is going on here and can I operate my scope with Astroberry and windows remote desktop. I have had instances when I try to open INDI panel and it says an instance is already running so this may explain that but am I okay to say just use remote desktop to operate my equipment, it is just odd that mostly it does seem to work even though if I plug a screen into RPi it is not changing anything on the screen. I guess I just do not understand what is meant by Astroberry Server.
