Hi Wouter,

Thanks for the information!
I just scheduled 3 jobs of 30 images each and it ran successfully without KStars to crash.
All the images were successfully displayed in the FITS viewer, all at full resolution 16-bit (so images of 122MB).
All the time the 'Limited Resources Mode' was not enabled.
So the problem you describe with FITS viewer causing KStars to crash I don't experience.

I will try it on another system as well (which also runs Debian 10, but an older version of KStars).

Groeten,

Sander

Hi,

I ran indiserver with -v and saw the following message:
2021-03-19T21:55:04: Client 11: 165398871 bytes behind, shutting down
2021-03-19T21:55:04: Client 11: shut down complete - bye!

So I now ran indiserver with the -m option:
-m m     : kill client if gets more than this many MB behind, default 128

I specified 256 MB with the -m option and now it works!

Maybe KStars can be improved some time to generate a message when such a situation occurs.

Kind regards,

Sander

Hi,

I have a ZWO ASI6200MM full-frame camera with maximum resolution of 9576x6388 pixels.
When I use this full resolution in 16-bit mode, KStars does not display the image.
Images with these settings are around 122MB in size.
I test this from the CCD window. In the CCD windows it keeps saying "Downloading..."

When I use hardware bin 2x2 in 16-bit at this full resolution it works correct (this reduces the file size significantly)
Also, when I use 8-bit mode at the full resolution (so without binning) it also works correct.
When I use a resolution of 7680×4800 in 16-bit mode it also works fine.
Then when I change again to 9576x6388 16-bit it again does not work anymore.

I played a bit more around and discovered that when the file size becomes 100MB or larger, the image is rejected (by INDI or KStars, I don't know exactly).
A resolution of 8000x6200 pixels in 16-bit mode without binning still works, but 8000x6250 (now the file size becomes larger than 100MB) does not work.
Is this a known issue? I'm not sure whether it's INDI or KStars causing this issue.

I run INDI server on my Raspberry Pi 4, and I run KStars on my computer with Debian Linux.
Raspberry Pi and computer are connected to the wired network (Ethernet).
INDI version = INDI Library: 1.8.9, Code v1.8.9-1-g4c3f1c60. Protocol 1.7.
KStars version = 3.5.2 Stable

Thanks in advance for the help!

Kind regards,

Sander

Hi,

Just to let you know...
I went for the CEM120, so I have no further input / experiences with CEM70 + INDI.

Hi,

I was wondering, when will support for the iOptron CEM70 be added to the iOptronV3 driver?

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Sander

Coming Friday I go back to the optics shop to buy my new setup.
Still doubting between the CEM70 and CEM120... difficult decision to make ;-)
It has to carry a Celestron 11 inch Edge HD with a ZWO 60mm guide scope and some camera equipment, both will do fine I guess.

One of my requirements is to have my setup working on a Linux machine (probably KStars + Ekos + INDI).
Good to see that both CEM70 and CEM120 are supported now, although the CEM70 is a new mount which is probably not tested yet with INDI.

For sure when I go for the CEM70 I will try it out with the latest INDI that you pushed and I will report back my findings.
When I go for the CEM120 I guess reporting back has not so much added value as this mount is already proven to work with INDI!
This also gives me confidence that it will work for the CEM70 as well, as they seem to be identical w.r.t. the software interface and tracking hardware.

Hi knro,

That's perfect!
Thank you very much for the effort.
Was is just as easy as adding the {"0070", "CEM70"} tuple to the Drivers::models map in ioptronv3driver.cpp?"
And do you know whether this is already tested by someone with a CEM70 mount?

Kind regards,

Sander
