Options for
DIY PiFinders
* Adding WDS import, and a new way of handling object images * Fix missing catalogs, get_objects query and unit tests * updated db * optimise WDS catalog import speed, merge into new catalog_imports * Update db, add readme * Reset tetra3 submodule to match upstream/main * first pass on missing radecs for WDS * Reenable WDS, beter parsing of coords+fallback coords * Speed up name loading * Add debugging timing * eliminate double call * db optimisations * Background loading of objects * Enable mag loading again * init mag with object * Defer catalogs * thread safe background loader * improve startup time by deferring filtering * Preload modules to speed up startup * Back out the module preloading, need to do perf profiling first * Profiling * Notify users of background loading * Catalog refreshes after loading * fix infinite loop bug * Tests should pass on CI * Remove timing code
Added dbus dependencies installation for compiling.
* Merged main with the location changes * no ubx yet * Revert "no ubx yet" This reverts commit c872394. * Added PID control loop for auto exposure of camera * Added logging for real camera testing * Add preview overlay * Fixed star count, still might have to refactor * implement sweeping * Also sweep if no solves * Refactoring, sweep implementation, unit tests * fix RSME logging crash * Added experimental menu * Fix overlay glitch * Really fix exposure overlay * Optimized pid params * Added histogram plugin * pid tuning was too agressive, reverted * Implemented asymmetric pid tuning (be more aggresive going up than down) * Raw capture and many linting stuff * Downward still too aggresive * Reset errors * further pid tuning * chart error due to no ra * performance tuning * Fix alt/az being none * recover from no solves * Fix imu drift and stuck at 25ms * PID tuning * IMU drift fix * measure imx462 offset * More measuring * More sweep changes * Fix nox errors, delete test code * Less logging, no more hold at 400ms * Added exponential zero star handler * Add to menu, less logging
…apt start of indi-web to container.
Add lock_type to GPSD based messages to fix #357
Adds SQM measuring and UI screen for display along with Bortle scale mapping
* Subclass ceder client to stop loading detect as child process * Fix up minor errors if no solve * Add support for migration / setup
Add features for user to report actual SQM and package this along with exposures to help improve SQM feature in the future

[Note: This is a continuation of PR #349]
Goal of this PR is to establish EQ and Alt/AZ mount control from the PiFinder using indilib, which provides the device indepent library layer used by Kstars/Ekos on Linux (such as ASCOM does for Windows).
VISION
Caution
PiFinder's platesolving is not suited for guiding and astrophotography. This use case therefore is out-of-scope.
Outline
of what needs to be done:
Control to be integrated with all places, where manual control might be needed (Camera, Align, Objects).modify Object Details to control mount.Web page doing thisIntegrated with "Remote"Detect if mount runs into horizon limits and display an error messageOptional
Unclear:
Timeframe for implementation
Likely on the order of a couple of month or longer.
Important
ETA is Q1 2026 earliest.
