Hi experts,
It's been about 1 year since I did astrophotography again with Kstars / Ekos. So in other words a lot has changed in Kstars and fields have been added that I didn't have with the old Kstars.
I put the latest version of Stellarmet OS on my raspberry pi 4 with 4GB of memory. (I am not using a tablet, but an iMac via VNC)
When my entire setup was ready outside, I ran into 2 problems.
So I have 2 questions ...
Question 1
When I created my Ekos profile I created 2 telescopes at the bottom, namely "Skywatcher EVOSTAR 80 - 600" and a guide telescope "Skywatcher EVOGUIDE 50 - 242" on the primary telescope is also a Skywatcher Reducer / corrector, 0.85x connected.
So normally if I'm correct my total focus length is 510.
It doesn't matter what focus length I set to 600 or 510 it stays red. I suppose that color must be green or not?
So the question is what focus length should I put here? the ones in parentheses or something else ...
I plan to purchase this power box from Pegasus - PegasusAstro Pocket Powerbox Advance (
pegasusastro.com/products/pocket-powerbox-advance/
)
I've been looking for the INDI driver for Ubuntu (kstars), but only found this
indilib.org/devices/auxiliary/pegasus-ultimate-power-box.html
does it work with the latest Pegasus powerbox?
If not which INDI driver code should I have?
Finally being able to photograph again
DSO Object was IC 443 (Jellyfish)
Technical info and photo can be viewed at ASTROBIN.com

@Marc2b - thank you for your support - I am currently shooting with the ZWO ASI294MC PRO and it works perfectly, but if I have more time I will try again with my Nikon D500.
