yes that makes sense. I knew that Pi OS dropped the proprietry camera drivers when it went from buster to bullseye.
This is why you have to install the old buster version for allsky software to work, and also why I was able to compile the indi_rpicam driver
on my allsky buster pi.
I also use the HQ Camera.
Unfortunately it no longer works since the update.
Buying another camera is not really an option.
This little camera is actually quite suitable. Unfortunately, the support for this camera is very poor.
I really hope that someone will provide a fix for this soon.
Yes, entire story with HQ Camer asupport on Stellarmate is very confusing if not missleding.
I to bought Stellarmate in belive that it support HQ Camera. Since then I'm struggling with it and my HQ Camera with no luck. But there is hope at the end of the tunnel.
There are two versions of Stellarmate OS. 32 bit (buster, no longer supported) and 64bit (bullseye, supported).
32 bit version kinda supported HQ Camera (witn indi-rpicam driver), but that driver was very buggy and long exposures didn't worked at all. See this: github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty/issues/271
