 jasem-M | this is to GENERATE dark frames | 14:19:29 |
| jasem-M | not about processing images later in the substraction process.. that's another step | 14:19:45 |
 H__ | right, i see | 14:20:41 |
| H__ | PHD2 allows you to either use a hot/cold pixel map, or darks. And the first works better for many (me included) | 14:21:18 |
| jasem-M | hmmm really | 14:22:48 |
| jasem-M | so I'll drop the dark stuff completely then :D | 14:23:04 |
| H__ | or give users the choice of using either ;-) I mean a guider has different challenges than a main camera image viewer | 14:39:06 |

 kstar-M | BTW, I have a QHY5III178, and for some reason, I manually need to `fxload` the firmware despite the presence of `/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/85-qhyccd.rules`... any idea what's going on? | 09:24:04 |
| jasem-M | kstar: the correct rule applied to your camera? | 14:08:49 |
| jasem-M | check the VID:PID | 14:08:58 |
 kstar | jasem-M: Oh, you know, it might be the fact that the QHY5III178.img firmware is only in the indi source folder and not in any /usr/lib kind of path... | 20:47:15 |
| * kstar-M sent a long message: < https://kde.modular.im/_matrix/media/r0/download/kde.org/77b7f04416463e351705649554aea34cfbab55dc/message.txt > | 20:52:19 |
| kstar-M | Anyway, this might even be fixed in `master` -- I'm on some old tag because of the `pyindi` issue that was posted on the forum, and I don't want to touch anything now :-P | 20:52:50 |
| jasem-M | @kstar I see the firmware here so it looks like you have something old. | 22:48:44 |
| kstar | jasem-M: Oaky, that's probably all it is :-) | 22:55:51 |
| kstar | Yeah, indeed if I copy the QHY5III178.img firmware into /usr/lib/firmware/qhy, then `udev` picks it up and loads it automatically when I plug in ^:-)^ | 22:57:59 |
| kstar | Is there some INDI / Ekos tutorial somewhere? | 22:58:52 |
| kstar | I have successfully shot some pics using Ekos, but I'm nowhere close to being a power user :D | 22:59:09 |
| kstar | http://bas.org.in/~akarsh/2020conjunction.jpg -- shot this with said camera (QHY5III178) through my 18" f/4.5 dob on an equatorial platform. Acquisition in Ekos, processing in AutoStakkert running on wine. | 23:00:18 |

| jasem-M | Anyone wants to work on this low-hanging fruit? | 20:13:17 |
| jasem-M | H__: I just sent an email to kstars mailing list about Bad Pixel Map. It would be great if you can check it out. | 20:40:15 |
| H__ | sure, will have a look | 21:53:32 |
