Hi

not sure I’m going to help here but I run kstars/ekos on a 4gb Pi using Astroberry so currently 32 bit. I have a sony a7rii so using a gphoto related indi driver. Camera takes raw but transports it in fits format. I’ve got a large chunk of the index files installed and when stellarsolve runs it appears to check and then says it cannot load in parallel but continues and solves pretty quickly. So unless there’s some weirdness around having 8gb I would have expected it to work.
Have you tried using the astap or watney based solvers to see if they work? They have their own index files and internal star finding routines.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that it’s pretty simple to set the linux kernel to be 64bit even without having to have all the programs converted over. Didn’t look to be any help for me given i’ve only got 4gb but might be worth investigating but then you should be working fine anyway…


Regards

Nigel
