Hi Pat, i'm no expert, but for my setup I use 2 sec exposure in the Ekos Focus Menu tab; with Bin 2x2 (to reduce resolution), and click the 'Sub frame' (to see only the focus star).

Hi AradoSKYindi,
Thanks for the info.
I have tried yesterday running in client-server approach: My Windows laptop is running Kstars/Ekos, and the RPi3B+ runs the INDI server.
Of course, Debayer & streched FITS are displayed without any issues on the laptop.
The main drawback of client-server approach for Astrophotography is if one the two computers crash, or the network, then everything stops.
But i'm considering upgrading to a RPi4B with 4GB of RAM. It's still a cost effective solution I think compared to leaving a laptop outside or Embedded PC $$$.

Yesterday was 1st light for my RPi3b+ and Astroberry.
I was able to Goto, autofocus, platesolve, guide and capture 
But when I decided to enable the 'Auto Debayer' in Kstars, so after displaying the next FITS in color, Kstars/Ekos crashed (retried many times to confirm).
Is there another setting that need tweaking? My camera is a ASI294MC; FITS files size
Maybe I can display the FITS images only locally on my Windows laptop in order not to overload the Pi?
I did not realised that debayering was such an intensive process!
Tnx,
Sebastien.

Hi, i'm new to Astroberry.
What is the most popular way to run Astroberry?
A- Astroberry server on Pi, and Kstars/Ekos on Windows laptop (client-server)
B- or All from Pi thru VNC using laptop? (full remote)
Tnx,
Sebastien
