The . in front of indi makes it a hidden directory in Linux. To see it in your file browser you'll need to find and select the option for "Show hidden files and directories" (or some similar name). You can also try Ctrl-H as a shortcut for this.
When using the INDI SVBONY driver, my SV405CC is creating 16-bit <strong>mono</strong> FITS images?
When I open the FITS image, using Kstars "fits viewer" , then save the image under a different filename, it becomes RGB, and trebles in size (~24mb to ~75mb)
Any ideas?
I have tried switching between 8-bit, 16-bit, Luma 8-bit and RGB-24 bit modes, but when I switch back to 16-bit mode, I get monochrome FITS files, as reported when opening them in Siril or GIMP.
SV405CC supports mono 8 bit format; it does not support mono 16 bit.
When an exposure is made using "Sequence", the data is correctly saved as mono 8 bit data in monochrome FITS format.
If an exposure is made using "Capture a preview" and saved using "FITS Viewer", the data will be saved in RGB.
I do not know if the behavior of FITS Viewer is a spec or a bug.
