I am not quite sure what you are talking about with the EXPOSURE PERIOD. I double checked the code and it seems to be doing the right thing (I do have typos sometimes). Make sure you have updated to the latest code. It is possible there was a bug at one time that I corrected.

For the ASI120, there is a known issue with this model. I have documented the workaround here:

Hi friends.

I have an Ubuntu Linux with Kstars and Indi AllSky.
Run AllSky at startup. When start Kstart say "another instance of INDI is running. Do you want to close the other ?,,,,,,," and close one Indi server, only run Kstars or Indi AllSky software is possible.
There are any way to run Kstars and INDI AllSky on the same server simultaneously???.

Thanks

I know I was interested in your software when I first saw it, over a year ago, but I still am running the original "Instructables" software from Thomas. I should get back to updating to your program.

Did you ever look into incorporating an evaluation of "seeing" from the images? It would be useful for establishing exposure times for people who are imaging thru telescopes. Forgive me if I asked this before or if someone else has already asked, I did not read thru all the responses, this time.

In Kstars/EKOS, select Mode "Remote" instead of Local and use "localhost" for the address. indi-allsky starts its own indiserver service so you do not need to launch a second one.

If I had a way of measuring seeing, I would certainly try to implement something. I have had done some exploration with others about trying to measure the apparent/absolute magnitude of the sky (like a proper SQM). It is extremely difficult. Measuring magnitude would require controlling for 2 variables that are unique to almost every allsky camera: QE/frequency response of the sensor and the lens.

I would love some help in getting even a close approximation of magnitude converting an ADU value to a magnitude. It would almost certainly require some local offset for every camera/lens combination, I just do not quite understand the math involved.

Yes, I try it, but when uses remote INDI server the telescope mount, filter wheel and other cameras are missing, only ZWO ASI and Telescope simulator appear.

You can add the additional servers/drivers in ~/.config/systemd/user/indiserver.service and restart (and reboot) so that the indiserver has all of the drivers. I just merged a change that would allow you to specify the camera name in the config in case you have multiple cameras attached. indi-allsky normally just selects the first available camera it detects.

There are also ways to daisy chain indiservers together. Let me know if you are interested in that.

I am happy you got it resolved.

It looks to me like the python modules were setup without a virtual environment. The setup.sh script assumes a virtual environment will be used. If it is not, the gunicorn service will also have to be updated.
