Why aren't you doing more videos? We need more like yours. You did a superb job explaining things. I learned enough to feel like I can actually use Astroberry now.
Having recently invested in a decent EQ Mount, I’ve also been looking at and using Astroberry on a pi 3 b+, which only just has sufficient resources, but it’s a start. I’ll probably buy a newer pi model. Your presentation was very informative and filled in some gaps in my understanding and I like your relaxed style. Thanks you for sharing, would be great to watch some more of your experience in this area.
Thank you for your video that inspired me. I now use the Steam Deck as a mini computer to control my equipment, and it runs great. As a gaming device, its performance is completely sufficient, and it even comes with a screen, making it useful for multiple purposes!
Well timed as I am waiting on the new StellarMate Pro and this gives me the opportunity to "practice" with the Software in simulation Mode . One observation if I may , you are very softspoken and it was difficult to hear you clearly in some segments . Cheers ./SRK
Thank you very much for the comment and thank you for the feedback, I'll do better on the audio in the next video :) good luck with the StellarMate pro! Clear skies :)
This is pretty much what I do. SD Cards are so cheap, I have 5-6 that I swap for different projects. And I save everything into a USB flash drive so transferring files is easy!
Hi just watch your video on KStars/EKos got a lot of info from it but your recoding volume is to low ,I had my computer volume turn to full and still had trouble hearing
I have been looking at these for a while but from what I've seen reliability can be an issue, not sure if its a hardware problem or not but I would like a system I can use like the ASi Air so I can connect via a phone or tablet when out in the field. I have seen posts about the legalities with the Air but the problem is it's being pushed from pretty much everywhere you look online, the same goes for astronomy vendors as most out there will sell a handful of CCD's & everything else ZWO. Don't get me wrong I like how it works but for me I won't be forced into one system.
Hi, I looked carefully at your video, when, around 3:50 pm you show the calibration graph, I realized that it is very different from mine. The positioning of the calibration points is different. Yours point exactly to the south. and to the west, mine to the north-east and south-west, but everything works for me. I'm wondering if there is a reason to explain this. Thank you
Me again . Did I miss the part where you have to have a Raspberry Pi to even run the Demo/Simulation portion of the Software ? I cannot connect like you've done without loads of errors and Port messages . I was really hoping to play with EKos and get familiar with it . Thanks again . /SRK
Hi Scott, no you don't need a Raspberry Pi for the simulation. You just be able to setup KStars/Ekos with simulated devices. Make sure during the setup to tell Ekos that all the devices are connected locally, and to run the INDI server locally. If it helps, you can reset all of the configuration in Kstars by going to the settings, Advanced > General tab, then purging all configuration. This will reset it to defaults. I hope this helps!
Hi Michael, thanks very much for the feedback. Are you using the Pi 3b directly (running Kstars on the Pi with a monitor, keyboard and mouse), or are you remotely controlling the Pi from another computer? Thanks!
Hi Freddy, thanks for the comment. I've still got cloudy skies here, but I'm working on making a video using the simulator in Ekos/Kstars so at least it's all the same. Clear skies!

Great content. Would love to see more from your channel.

And I realized that if you use a Raspberry Pi for other things in the day, you can shut it down, swap the SD card, and use it for astronomy at night.
This is pretty much what I do. SD Cards are so cheap, I have 5-6 that I swap for different projects. And I save everything into a USB flash drive so transferring files is easy!

I agree! Volume is too low. Get a better audio system and microphone.

Great video! CS
Nice video, Ｉ been install astroberry, success remote control. but not sure how to set up. would like to use because open source not limited brand.

Pi 3b is a no go not enough ram and crashes all the time my pi 4 4gig ram has never crashed once and runs smooth
Hi Michael, thanks very much for the feedback. Are you using the Pi 3b directly (running Kstars on the Pi with a monitor, keyboard and mouse), or are you remotely controlling the Pi from another computer? Thanks!
@@ancientphotons5452 I used a Pi 3b before remotely and it did crash and relatively slow, changed to Pi 4b and everything is going smoothly.
Nice video. We need some actual in use examples please.
Hi Freddy, thanks for the comment. I've still got cloudy skies here, but I'm working on making a video using the simulator in Ekos/Kstars so at least it's all the same. Clear skies!
Can I use a canon 1200d with astroberry or just CCD? thanks
Yes, canon DSLRs work fine
BTW -- I have a Canon R5 C, and Canon doesn't support their SDK for my camera.
But INDI and Ekos work with it perfectly.
