Hi guys,

I hope you can help me here. I purched a second hand DSI (I) which I want to use as a guiding cam.
I`m running ekos and stellarmate with indi. Kstars remote from my laptop.
My gear is:
Meade LXD 75
ZWO asi 120mc
autostar (controlled by the stellarmate)
Everything works fine. Stellarmate can see and use the camera. But I only get a white screen when exposing.
So I installed the good old autostar suite on my W10 laptop to see if the camera functions and id did.
I also noticed that when playing with exposure time, shadows etc the image would turn white fast.
So my guess is that in Ekos, I should do the same.
Unfortunaly, I can change gain en compensation, but the image stays white. Again, no errors occure.
Can you help me solve this problem? I think I`m close but I just don`t seem to find it.

Thanks

( In the images, you can see the result with changing the Gain)

Hi Everyone,

So, I`m a newbie with the stellarmate. But I managed to get the mount, the GPS, the canon 400D and the ZWO CCD guidercam to work.
Still, I hoped to use a celestron Neximage 5 with stellarmate.
But its seems that there is no driver available . Yet I found a discussion on the forum over the pixel size on the neximage 10.
Can anyone help? Does it exist?

With regards
