Hi everyone,

I use Kstar/Ekos software to control the Sony A7iii, I need to get the image in FITS mode and I would use the compressed raw format, that reduced the image size from 45Mb to 23Mb. But I noticed that if I choose to download the image direct in FITS format their size still remain of 45 Mb even I switch to the compressed format (option avaible directly on the camera and not in the INDI driver). On the other hand if I choose to download the image in the NATIVE format, the compressed option take effect and the result image is about 23 Mb.
So I would ask you if is it possible to obtain the FITS image in the compressed format or it is possible only for the NATIVE raw format?

Thanks.

Luca
