Hi All,

I am new to guiding and fairly new to raspi as well.

I am trying to get my bresser camera running in kstar, ekos and was able to mount it as an INDI webcam.
bresser-online.nl/Webwinkel-Product-4926...-Full-HD-Camera.html
The scope is a 240 mm 60 mm guide scope.
In INDI the camera is mounted as an indi webcam which gives a 720 pix resolution (it shows 5 mu instead of 3 mu pixels) and only supports raw format.
I can choose between 8 bit and 16 bith greyscale, but cant adapt the pixel size or resolution.

In astrodmx it show full HD (1080) via video4linux.

Although i am trying to fix the issues above (that is get correct pixel size and resolution), the main problem is that i cant find enough stars to guide on (imaging m31).
I have been able to find one of the moons of jupiter and guide on them for a bit but most of the frames are pitch black without any stars (not the usual grey as you find on the internet)

Is this camera not usable or am i missing some key factor?

Thanks in advance

There is no way to know the pixel size. The other driver V4L2 uses a simple hard-coded database to know the pixel size for popular webcams. I would like to use "INDI Webcam" driver but it's still missing a few features. Try to use the "V4L2 CCD" driver and see if you can adjust any settings (brightness etc.) to get any stars.

V4L2 solved the resolution and pixel size issue.

I had some troubles posting this question and apparently made 2 almost identical post.
So i will continue in the other thread.
