Ok, I had kstars and indi running a while ago, but had major issue with my QHY128c now sort of solved, but it works
Here is my guide, hopefully I got it right.
SETUP for RPI 4
'install raspian/buster Let it do all the updates too
'In preferences goto raspberry pi configuration and set for VNC
'In preferences goto add/remove software.
'type in window top left program required
'all these are done thru here
'Cmake 3-13.4-1, gdebi, usbview, fxload, synaptic, hardinfo, conky,
'to get the breeze icons needed for kstars
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install icon-breeze-theme
'Conky is great for sidebar of system info etc
'copy the conky.conf to /etc/conky ( 'acknowlegdement' the conky conf is Robert Lancasters one 'conkyrc' )
'you run it by typing "conky" in terminal or setup a auto launcher for it
sudo cp conky.conf /etc/conky
During installs below watch for missing Lib### files, you can goto the add/remove in preferences and find them, (usually)
install whatever is missing and then rerun command. (cross fingers too)
INSTALLING INDI and 3RDPARTY
Install libindi and 3rd party driver

cd /home/pi
git clone
github.com/indilib/indi.git
cd indi
mkdir -p build/libindi
cd /home/pi/indi/build/libindi
sudo cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../../libindi
sudo make
sudo make install
cd /home/pi/indi/build
mkdir 3rdparty
cd 3rdparty

Using File,,,,,, (qhy ccdsdk-v2.0.11-linux-debian-ubuntu-armv8)
open in terminal from each of the folders in order of info below 'lib' 'firmaware' 'udev' 'fx3load'
in each terminal window, do the sudo cp................ ( this copies the right info for QHY ccd's )

mkdir ~/kde && cd ~/kde
git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kstars
mkdir build && cd build
sudo cmake ../kstars -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ( may find astrometry not found ) ?
sudo make ( this will take a while to do, coffee time, and second coffee too! )
sudo make install
'''''''You can keep your copy up-to-date by typing `git pull --rebase` in ~/kde/kstars '''''''
'The GPS service will need installing too
sudo apt-get install gpsd
sudo systemctl enable gpsd
sudo systemctl restart gpsd
