Hi,
I completed setting up my Stellarmate/EKOS on RPi4.
I currently have a Sony A7III and SA 2 Pro (without a WiFi) and was advised by a gentleman to test my Sony A7III connection with EKOS while I am waiting for the Guide Scope and Guide Camera to arrive and do the complete testing.
I tried connecting my Sony A7III today and I think I got it to work.
I was able to capture image sequence with different Exposures (30s, 0.1, 0.2..). I did see some issues when setting a long exposure i.e. 0.02 or 0.05. The sequence would abort.
However with Exposure settings in the range of 30s and 0.2s, I was able to get it to capture the FITS file and save it to the local Pictures folder on the Stellarmate OS.
I would like to know further if there are any other settings I should be doing in EKOS for my Sony A7III or am I good with the settings shared below (see the screenshots).
I hope this will help others too who are trying to connect their Sony A7III with EKOS.
I would like some advice on what else should I test on EKOS with my Sony camera while I wait for my Guide Scope & camera so that I feel comfortable in the field if I run into any issues with it.
Please share your experiences/advice. They are always helpful and much appreciated!
Regards,
Nick
