It is build 876 from 7sept  Kstars nightly build
Mount backlash is fairly tight, zero movement, with rowan kit too
2086 FL dirived from platesolve, so should be accurate

Next night when no clouds I will start off with low agression on dec and ra, and see how it goes. I would prefer lowest possible, but need a good amount of time to test all settings to see what results

Here is a bigger view across most of period. 2 sets just after 2050 and 2150 where oscillation happened signifigantly

Here is the cal from the sessioHere is the cal from the session

I thought I would chime in,
I have been using the kstars beta 376 and tested last night, I was running a series of ten minute subs. and guiding for couple of hours, the sky did have some high very thin cloud waft through.
I was getting some oscillation with the dec axis, and I am not sure what caused it
My polar align is fairly good and scope balanced well
NEQ6 celestron edge800, OAG using qhy 178 guide camera
Stellarmate version 1.5.9, Kstars 3.5.5 (376 build) on windows pc. Ohhh also agression on RA was better at .9 too, I did try changing the dec, but did not see much effect. GPG was also engaged.
I have included both the Analyse and a phd logveiwer snap of results.
The guiding by the numbers looked great, but is that understanding what is the oscillation  caused by?

This is a typical dark heavily stretched from this model camera.
Also bright areas in center can be result of flatteners and correctors causing unbalanced light values collected correct term eludes me atm.
solution is to do dark flats in your calibrations

My guess is that because of new RPI4, all the MAC address's are new, and all your past network connection will have the old RPI4 MAC address's you need to create new connections. the hot spot would have self setup.

Thanks to Jasem for fixing this issue.
Did a teamviewer session lastnight sorted out the QHY driverin Indi which was causing the crash.
It's now working perfectly, I assume its now fixed via nightly downloads in case anyone else was having same problem.
I still have one minor issue which is caused by Skysafri, when disconnecting Kstars crashes out.
The solution is to disconnect Skysafari in the Indi panel first before diconnecting all devices, works reliably for now till fix can be done.

Ok, I had updated to latest SM 1.5.2 and am having no end of trouble with it.
Kstars crashes out on device connection etc no logs nothing.
I have narrowed it down to the selection of QHY driver, as soon as I choose ZWO etc it loads up and connects without issue.
I have tested it from windows Kstars ver 3.4.0 and when connecting it shows QHY online/ offline till it times out without connecting.
Its a QHY128c Help!

Jasem,
It will be the fx3 files
/fx3load/a3load.hex /usr/share/usb
/fx3load/fxload /sbin
If you remember I had this issue with my QHY128c.

Bingo, as I thought I solved this last july with my QHY128c, it seems to have come back
issue is inside the rules etc, took me a while to figure how to do it again as I am still a newbie to Linux etc.
I just did this process again and now have contact with CCD.


Using File,,,,,, (qhy ccdsdk-v2.0.11-linux-debian-ubuntu-armv8)
open in terminal from each of the folders in order of info below 'lib' 'firmaware' 'udev' 'fx3load'
in each terminal window, do the sudo cp................ ( this copies the right info for QHY ccd's )
