Hi folks,
just to be clear, I do not use AstroArch for my rig, but a PC amd64 with a Ubuntu based distribution, but I follow this thread because I started with a Pi 3b with Astroberry 2 years ago, and was in the same situation. So if I can help in any way, fine.
I did some test with AstroArch to run my 2 cameras, ASI 071 and a QHY 5L-II, the 2nd one is connected on the extra USB2 plug on the ASI 071. I got a crash of the QHY driver at start. This setup runs perfectly with my Ubuntu 22.04 PC. I have not tested with the eqmod driver.

Hi,
Sorry to hear you have issue with the 22.04, because here I use it without any issue. I have build my OS exactly as Jerry Black, from a Linux Mint Mate and now Cinnamon distribution, based on Ubuntu 22.04, with some inspiration from
github.com/rlancaste/AstroPi3
.
Maybe you have issue with the ASI120 mc, or maybe some power issue with USB connection. I know It is not helpful, but as far as I switched to 22.04 7 months ago, I have no issue with INDI driver.

Hi Mattia,
I think I know how to sync the time with rtc on boot, but on rasbian. I don't know if it will be the same on Arch.
There is a script to edit /etc/rc.local , just add these 2 lines before the last exit command at the end.
echo ds1307 0x68 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/new_device
hwclock -s
I hope you will be able to put it in the Arch way.

About the rtc, I figured it out, with some internet digging.
Looking at the bash script
here
, I executed it but failed to start service because the i2c bus must be enabled before.To do that, add these 2 lines in the files /boot/config.txt
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds3231
Reboot the pi and execute the bash script you downloaded with sudo permission. The rtc should now work.

Hi,
I have installed the repo and everything runs properly, nice work.
As Alan, there is still the rtc missing, i'll give a try after work.

I am currently starting my session and testing your issue with my HEQ5 pro. So I slewed to the zenith as you, on a target east to meridian (scope on west side targeting eastern hemisphere), set the PA towards East. And I have no issue with the polar alignment procedure with 30° step.
here are the 3 solved coordinates taken during the PA.
