Hallo,
my first time writing here,
Thanks for the awesome work!

I'm playing with this feature trying to find a way to guide using the raspberry hq camera with a better framerate (now with indi_rpicam about 9 sec for 1/2 sec exposure).
This feature seems really interesting.

I use raspistill to get a raw then rawtran to create a fits file.
The fits file opens in fits viewer and other softwares.

If i use a fits file created by ekos (from my dslr) ccd_simulator loads it no prob
If i try to open the fits created by rawtran i get this error:

2020-10-18T20:29:59: [WARNING] Error reading file /mnt/ramdisk/pic.fits due to error keyword not found in header


and i got no exposure.

here the fits file
