Thanks for reply. I tried to connect 1-2 minutes after turning on the equipment - it did not help. I also tried to turn off the power of the camera, turn it on again and wait a bit. It doesn't help either. The only thing that helps is removing the filters and re-enabling. Tell me how to get an update from git? It is enough to issue a "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt dist-upgrade" command? sorry, not good at linux commands

Hello Jasem, I have the same issue. I've updated stellarmate to the last version 1.7.5 and filters are gone in ekos. I have to remove filters in Opticals Train, close it and set filters again. After that filters appear. Kstars does not see filters after connect, select box is disabled. But INDI can see it in CCD Filter settings and I can change it.
I have RPi4, QHY600L+CFW3 connected via 4pin serial. KStars 3.6.3 version, QHY SDK version 22.11.9, in logs I see string "QHY CCD QHY600M-c765284 filter is online.". How to solve this problem?

By disabling fitsviewer you are able to see fits in the first tab of kstars panel with the same futures as in fitsviewer.

Try to disable FitsViewer. I had the problem with memoty allocation with qhy600. If it does not help try to change usb3 cable and check power supply for ARM it should be not less than 3-4Amp. I also heard that there may be a problem with soldering the usb socket on the camera, the craftsmen soldered it again.

last updates was in 2021. I've requested RisingCam Official Store, they gave this link drive.google.com/file/d/1p_0bIBacDHKcsJN...n.0.0.43853e5fiV4rbz but there is no indi driver. Here is another link from ToupTek www.touptek.com/download/download.php?lang=en&class2=66 but updates were made in the last year as well.

Right now I'm making a dewсap from a ventilation pipe, 150mm is good sit on fra600 
Esprit is good but two times expansive.

Thanks. Askar has a great mechanics and corrected field as well and much cheaper than Takahashi or Esprit ) They say FRA500 takes into account all the shortcomings of previous models.

I think main producer of RisingCam is Toptek - the largest developer of ccds for microscopes, much larger than ZWO/QHY. It's a good cam, the same as ASI2600MC as it use IMX571 sensor, but with larger buffer size and wider cooling temp (up to 42 degrees). Here is some pics from RisingCam www.astrobin.com/users/dimitrii_trost/ - I am new to astrophotography. I use this cam around one year and there where no problem at all. Once overcooled the sensor and it fogged up. Another time forgot to set correct offset and subs were spoiled. Now I bought qhy600 mono and due to the size of the frames, a lack of memory immediately surfaced.

Jay, I've tried 64bit beta with stellarmate. It works better than 32b astroberry but sometimes kstars crashes when FITsViewer is enabled and 61mpx ccd connected.
And SM cannot connect my second cam - RisingCam IMX571C with touptek driver... Don't know why as astroberry works good with this cam.
I'm not very good at Linux to upgrade Astroberry to beta:)
I am using 64gb card with os and 128gb as external usb3 flash card for lights and connect via VNC.
I do not complain about performance, but stability leaves much to be desired.

Hi Patrick, I have the same cam. Gain 100 means 0. Aslo found optimal offset 190-200 (2/3 hist shifted in biases). Temp error rises when setup 0C, I dont know why. If you change this value the error disapered.

Yesterday installed SM 1.7.0 64bit. It works perfect with QHY600 full frame with FITsViewer & Image preview - during all night made darks. There were no crashes. But when I change CCD to RisingCam IMX571 INDI does't see it - I use ToupTek driver as used in astroberry before. The same USB3 cable and same power 12V as connected QHY600.

I am also interesting where 64bit comes true:) I have connected fullframe ccd and have to off FITsViewer and image preview in order to avoid Ekos crashes due to memory deficit. Actually have 8Gb on board but 32bit OS can manage 4gb only. Stellarmate already deployed 64 beta version.

I have the same cam and it works perfect with 2.0.4. Select ToupCam driver, check the power of rpi4 it should be 3A or higher or try power from usd-c from another good supply. If cam connected via hub - it should be powered as well.

Jasem, do you know is a good idea to wait 64bit release of astroberry (if it comes sometime...) or it's better to start learning SM beta? I'm used to Astroberry, it works fine exept with fullframe ccd capture and it will probably be difficult to retrain to Stellarmate
