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.

RESOLVED:
edited the wrong path in setup.sh

Also this one:
Failed to connect to bus: Operation not permitted (consider using --machine=<user>@.host --user to connect to bus of other user)

Resolved from a previous post of mine in this thread:
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$(id -u)

Flask command issue.

./setup.sh: line 1848: flask: command not found

heidenrod@heidenrod-obs:~/GitHubstuff/indi-allsky$ pip3 list | grep -i flask
Flask 2.2.2
Flask-Login 0.6.2
Flask-Migrate 4.0.4
Flask-SQLAlchemy 3.0.3
Flask-WTF 1.1.1
heidenrod@heidenrod-obs:~/GitHubstuff/indi-allsky$


RESOLVED:
I've added the direct path to flask in the setup.sh file

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.

Hi Aaron. Any pointers to good config.json and other settings for pi HQ imx477 camera ?
I have it working (pi4, bullseye, arm64, astroberry repo, latest indi-allsky git), but
I am having issues with too low exposure (esp night) and green glow issue, so white balance is way off.
Cheers,
Nick

Just installed this, on my Raspberry Pi 4 2 GB with a Pi HQ camera.

It won't allow me to save any any changes made in config tab. I just get the message: "Please fix the errors above. And the issues then seems to be that it says that IMX477 is an invalid camera interface. No pictures seem to be taken.

What do I do?

What lens are you using and what are your exposure settings?

For the green bias, enable the SCNR setting with Maximum Neutral and it should correct that issue.
