Might be worth raising the issue on the Indi git site. From what you describe it sounds like the button settings aren't being saved as part of the config (but that's a guess on my part).

Hi Avocette,

I don't have a joystick so can't try this but have you tried setting the Indi params how you want them and then saving the configuration (Options->Save). These should then be loaded on startup.

Hi Fitchie,

Options->Save saves some of the data like pixel size.

Resolution looks to be defaulted to 1280x1024 on startup so I don't know if its possible to set that differently.

Hi Jarno,

Donut Buster needs walk=Fixed Steps or CFZ Shuffle. On the latest code you can't select Donut Buster if walk=Classic. You probably would have been able to on earlier versions.

Hi Jarno,

I can't recreate the problem on master on my environment (i.e. setting Donut Buster on/off and stopping / restarting Kstars results in the correct setting).

You could try creating a new Optical Train and see if the setting works or is still broken on that (settings are saved per Optical Train).

Hi Jarno,

This was a bug that I thought I fixed a while back, but didn't quite fix it properly. I fixed it again very recently in the last few days.

If you build the latest it "should" be fixed but if not let me know.

Thanks for the info Paul.

I guess you have Ha configured for Autofocus on filter change but L not set to Autofocus on Filter Change.

I think you're options are:
1. Fix not being able to align on Ha. My guess it that you have exposure set too short (probably set appropriately for L) so the stars are too faint on Ha. So you can increase the exposure and / or gain. I use roughly a x5 exposure factor for narrowband so if you use 2s for L to align you may need 10s on Ha (depends on filters of course so may be different on your setup).
2. Turn off Ha focus on filter change. The scheduler will still Focus on startup. You may need to think about your 120min refocus setting depending on what you're doing.
