Danke Joachim, der Trick ist cool, warum ich da selber nicht drauf gekommen ist. Leider sind die Motoren bei mir gelötet :-(
Aber mein Problemfokussier ist gesteckt :-)
Danke, dann bleib ich bei Version 1 und dem Moonlite Driver.

Sorry Corazon, my english is poor. I mean to set a position, so to tell the focuser that it is at position 5000. Not to drive to a position.

Thanks Stash,
I know Mr. Brown, but the driver is not from him, I suppose. I flashed mine to version 2 but it does not work. Maybe my drivers are old.

Hello Forum,

I cannot find any release notes for the INDI MyFocuserProV2 Driver.
My small question. Is the temperature sensor now supported?

At the moment, I operate five MyFocuserProV1 focusers with the INDI Moonlite driver. I would change to V2 because, I cannot initial set the focuser position with LINUX.
I do not use any temperature compensation, but I like the temperature in the Fits header for documentation purpose.

Hello Paolo,

congratulations to your ASI2600, this a very good start in CMOS-imaging. I have got some experience with ASI cameras within the years, mostly good.
I got a gallery on my website with images sorted by camera: www.starhopper.eu
I got my ASI2600 some weeks ago and I used it in three whole nights from now.
What can I say?
The cooling is not as powerful as for the ASI1600 or ASI183. I operate these cameras at -20°C, this is fixed with the intend to reach this temperature around the year here in Germany. I decided to use -10°C for the ASI2600 because of the the same manner.
I also found that the temperature regulation oscillates within 0.8°C (peak-to-valley) around the setting temperature (no disturbing wind). I have not checked if this happens with the ASCOM driver too.
My second image I made was from a suburban site, but the object is always very low in the sky here. I used gain=100 and 4min subs.

I made two Masterbias and Masterdark (4min), one for gain=0 and one for gain=100. I will use gain=0 in the future for star clusters.

Hello Eric,
thanks for your reply. But for clarification, I am quite quite sure, that I have never night INDI builts on my laptop before.

Hello Wouter,
I cannot agree. I am very sure that I was on stable ppa. To troubleshoot I switched to nighty built and than back. Both sides produce the bug.

Yes, after this update it does not crash any more. What was the reason?

Hi Duncan,
was it a stellarmate update or an INDILib update?

Please roll_back the eqmod changes in the stable PPA,
so I can image tonigt. It is clear weather.

My crash happens on LinuxMint, my Astroberry is not affected because it receives not updates.
It is an INDILib issue, not an astroberry issue.

If there is no fast fix or solution, the only way for me is to go back with timeshift, to rescue the following clear night.
