Thanks for this info Hy, much appreciated.
Can you suggest any example Python script that is communicating with Kstars DBus that I can use as a start point.

Hi,
I am using kstars with Celestron computer driven telescope with kstars-bleeding and all is working properly
I have added separate camera system (fixed, stationary) that detects moving objects and can get the 2D (X,Y) coords of the object using OpenCV and Python on Rpi
I can set it up so that the 2D camera X0,Y0 position aligns with the telescope center FoV by manual adjustements.
How do I send x,y updates to kstars when the camera detects an object, and then keep sending coordinate updates in 2D format to kstars to make the telescope follow the moving object seen in the camera
I am guessing that there is some kind of API to send coordinates to kstars, but not sure on how to convert X,Y from camera to match telescope and also how to scale the telescope to the camera FoV
If this is not possible with kstars, what would be involved in adding this as a feature.

Hi Jasem,
I have compiled libraries and drivers and installed by following procedure on repo.
I rebooted and retried but no change to the error messages and still no image getting through on the preview
What is the camera option to select for indi-libcamera when configuring the profile options

Hi Jasem,
Thank you for your response.
I have not found details anywhere on how to implement indi-libcamera, and apt-get unable to locate package indi-libcamera
If I install kstars-bleeding from your repo, then what is it currently using, and how do I make it use indi-libcamera
If indi-libcamera is not available for L4T, what are the steps to compile and install from source

Hi, I cant get the imx477 camera to work on kstars. The camera is connected via CSI on Jetson (not rpi). The camera is identified correctly and connected, but when trying to preview I get this error...
org.kde.kstars.indi: V4L2 CCD : "[ERROR] Invalid source buffer size, skipping frame... "
I found that the only driver option that connects is the v4l2 ccd
The imx477 camera produces perfect image when accessing camera directly using gstreamer
If I replace imx477 with a generic v4l2 usb camera, kstars works OK and shows preview.
Can anyone help me to configure kstars for the imx477 camera to work in kstars as I dont know what else to try.
regards, Hazcam
