Hi,

maybe a few how this fantastic project from Thomas about his allsky cam.

github.com/thomasjacquin/allsky

Sadly it linked to Zwo cams only, so I'm thinking about replacing his capture.cpp file with some python script that does same but using indilib.

As most of the other - not hardware related scripts - use png or jpg files, I'm wondering how to convert fits into jpg or png files.

I tried something like that, using a color cam from QHY, so there is only one HDU object in.
