My camera is ZWO ASI120MM-S running with USB3.0. Taking videos of Mars and Jupiter I was able to capture 70fps frames with a ROI of 400x400px. When I increase the frame size I must reduce the frame rate.

On this video you can see a screen recording from the vnc client running on on iPad connected via wifi Astroberry on RPI4



And the results :)




 

I thought the RPI4 would only be up to like 6-7 fps. I tried OACapture the best I can get is like 7fps.
Achieving 70 fps is a great success!

Are you writing onto a SD card or a USB3 device?
Did you try to find out the bottleneck is at the camera transfer speed itself, or at the CPU/RAM/write speed of the SD Card?

Thank you!
