I am trying to build an RPi3 controller for my observatory. Been a while since I did any Linux config or any programming at all -- am retired systems guy with decades of VMS, Solaris, Windows, etc internals, having a senior moment. The 1.2G is intended to be the guide camera for my Losmandy. I had been using an SSAG on windows but found it was problematic. I have been trying to connect my camera through Ekos in Kstars, have run through the list with no luck. Camera is connected via usb through a powered hub to the Pi. Installed the V4L2 driver but suspect I am missing how to configure the driver. Tried the SSAG and it was recognized right off as a QHY5, so I think my basic plumbing is correct. Can someone point me where to begin?

Thanks.
