I'm happy to help out too. My mount seems to work (now I've fixed most of the backlash issues), but the rig with it on crashes lots if I use a QHY268M (and some, but less with my ASI1600). Running the nightlies, my other rig with a EQ6 doesn't crash with the camera, so it's something specific to the CEM26, but exacerbated by the higher res camera.

I'd had the same issues with the QHY268M, as of the apt update I've done this evening to the latest nightly included in the stellarmate beta channel, I've not seen any more crashing. Thank you Jasem.

Interestingly I set up a completely fresh profile today to try some things out and it's been stable every time I've tried. Guess there was something in the old profile that had been used for a ZWO guide cam that it didn't/doesn't like.

Hi

I've just taken delivery of a QHYCCD 5L II M guide camera and the mini guide scope. I'm running astroberry (updated today). I tried to get the system running with the QHY driver selected for the guide camera but get a high probability of crashing. I don't even have to hit the connect button, I can have auto connect turned off, and I've still got a good chance of a seg fault. As soon as I remove the driver from the profile, everything works fine again.
I've got a ZWO main camera, so that driver was loaded too, along with my eqmod mount driver (although the mount wasn't connected at the time).
I either need to return the camera and get another ZWO one, or find the issue.
Is there any debug that would be useful for someone to see if they can find the error?

Thanks

Hi
I'm using the versions installed by Stellarmate 1.5.1, I can't see anything in the help on kstars to tell me the Ekos or INDI versions that are running, apt suggests ekos 1.3.1 and indi 1.8.4 and kstars 3.4.1. They might be from the stellarmate repo, so not sure if any patches or anything have been applied.
Thanks

Hi

I use the image preview pane to frame my images, once it's roughly in the right place and the tracking has plate solved and slewed to the right place, I use the "Centre telescope" function of the fits viewer to fine tune the scope location. After a meridian flip I try to do the same thing again, but when I click the place I want to centre, it doubles the error, it appears to be moving the wrong direction, as if the fits previewer doesn't realise the meridian flip has happened.

Currently, when stellarmate starts up, the 2 WiFi adapters seem to each find WiFi networks rather than starting the hotspot. In the past, if no WiFi network was found that stellarmate knew the credentials for, it would start the hotspot, is there a way to force it to start the hotspot on the internal interface even if there are WiFi networks it could connect to instead?

Thanks.

Hi, I've bought a USB wifi adapter for my pi4 hosting stellarmate. I'd like to run the stellarmate hotspot on the inbuilt wifi adapter and then have the other adapter connect to my home network(s) if they are in range (e.g. I'm at home rather than in a field). Is there a way I can tell the wifi configuration to only connect to certain networks on certain adapters and tell stellarmate to always run the hotspot, on the inbuilt adapter?
