Returning to this topic after some time just reverting to my windows-based workflow. I'm really interested to get the PI-based workflow running. Before I set it down I did figure out some details about RAW capture and what settings I should apply.
There are still a couple issues I need to understand better:
- presumably most folks can run image capture, calibration, etc just fine in kstars with the 32bit astroberry server, and I wonder why in my case I'm running out of memory. Should I just pare down my index files to the bare minimum? Are there other things I should disable in kstars to keep the memory usage down? Alternatively, should I just proxy everything through the PI and run kstars on a 64 bit laptop? Any pointers on how to do this?
- should I accept that I need more than 4GB address space and try to find/create a 64 bit build of astroberry server? You mention that you're running a 64bit OS so presumably you've had some success finding an image and getting it set up- are there any pointers available to get started?
