Avocette,
I believe that may be a viable option for the NCP but there are very few bright stars around the SCP which would probablyt create more issues than are solved.

KillRoyCool,
An alternative to uisng GPS is to install a Real Time Clock (RTC) in the Raspberry Pi or to set it manually from the command line.
I have never been able to get my Raspberry Pi to read the RTC but when I have time I will have another go.

I have a K-1 that I would like to run under INDI, so this will be something I can test when I get some time.

Sven,
If you have a set temperature you can just include it in the file name, for instance NGC5128_b1g1T-15 etc

This has been answered elsewhere, the control is handled by the mount controller and Ekos just sends the commands and the mount responds.
Nothing further should be required.

Chris,
Sorry, I missed replying to part of questions.
Backup of the SD card is just a copy using the Raspbian program. As long the card is equal to or larger than the one being copied it works fine.
In terms of getting the images off the card and onto my main computer, I have it wirelessly networked, using Samba, and just copy the images over using the desktop programs.

Chris,
I have never tried it with Windows but I have never had any issues when formatted on a Mac.
Under normal circumstances I have no issues reburning an image on an already used card using the Raspbian program and when I have had issues I have justed reformatted it using the Mac OS formatter.
The symptoms sound like you have corrupted the card.

Chris, it is not clear from your post how you are trying to access the microSD card.
It may be held by another process so you should unmount it first - sudo umount /directory path.
On Raspbian the program that is on the menu used to unmount it automatically but it has stopped doing this so you need to do it yourself.

I don't know if it is me, but that link did not work. Do you need a Facebook login to use it?

You have confused me. I don't have any hope of getting a Raspberry Pi 4 for a few months, but I assume that building INDI on it will work just fine. Is this not the case?

Blueshawk,
The issue is that when you open a serial port and leave it open it locks out other devices.
I suggest you keep them as two separate devices that way a fault with one does not stop both from working.
