oalive and oacapture 1.9.0 on Astroberry

[RubberDuck]

Hi,

I am taking my very first steps in astrophotography and am starting by trying to connect my Nikon Z6ii and D3100 cameras to oacapture and oalive v1.9.0 in Astroberry and have the following issues:

• oalive recognises and connects to both cameras
  • pressing "start" when connected to Nikon X6ii triggers opens the shutter and then oalive hangs until the camera is powered off; the "stop" or "restart" buttons do not work
  • no image appears
• oacapture does not recognise any of the two cameras

Notes

• Both cameras are in "bulb mode"
• Astroberry is up-to-date (apt-get update & apt-get upgrade)

Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

Are you doing planetary imaging? If you're doing DSO Kstars and Ekos within it (the Observatory icon button at the top of Kstars) is better.

I've looked at oacapture in the past but not really used it. My memory is telling me that it's written by an active member of SGL.

Perhaps a search of the forum would bring up some info and reveal who the writer is (I can't remember with certainty).

It was @JamesF if I remember correctly, but he doesn’t seem to have been around for a couple of years. You could try the project website: https://www.openastroproject.org

Not yet, I am really just starting out and thought I try to get the camera working on my PI :-)

Thanks, already looking at it, but so far without much success.

Got a video feed from KStars with EKOS - thanks for the tip!

Have you tired to search it on google?

Edit: seems he is not here anymore.
