Hi Santiago
Thanks for sharing this great project! I'm following along all the instructions and I almost have everything working.
I have RasPiOS running on a Raspberry Pi model 3B and have installed all the necessary software including xrdp (my first time using this!).
I can run the AstroCam app and see the preview on the screen in the RDP window.
But when I click the capture button, nothing happens and there are no pictures in the Astrophotography/JPG folder.
I tried running the app from the command line with the same result but after I quit I saw this appear:

pi@raspberrypi:~/AstroCameraApp/PythonScripts $ python3 AstroCam.py 
Start
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/threading.py", line 917, in _bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/threading.py", line 865, in run
    self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
  File "AstroCam.py", line 108, in camHandler

    'Timed out waiting for capture to end')
picamera.exc.PiCameraRuntimeError: Timed out waiting for capture to end

Does any of this help to explain why I can't take pictures yet?
Cheers,

Hi!
can you add support for Arducam AR1335 with IR-Cut filter? and also a support for webpage?

Hi,in pdf docs you says:

"changing the icon to the one provided for it in the Github repository. The
other two shortcuts can be set up by pasting the following two text files from the Github
respository on the desktop and subsequently making them executable"

but the links are pointing to your main page repos:

https://github.com/RemovedMoney326?tab=repositories

where should be the two text files?

I think you are referring to the 2 files in Hubble-Pi/Desktop Configuration Files/

It's correct?

thanks

Hi !

Very nice work !

He can be usefull to create the same screen view but in a web page ?

I can help you in electronics if you want to make a ST4 interface :)

Hey man, hope you are doing well. I am attempting this project mashed up with the 3d printable pikon telescope.

I am currently having an issue running the Astrocam correctly.
I have moved the text files from the github on to my display and have set them to be executable by anyone.
when i click on the shortcuts it shows a loading icon but never pops up on to screen.
through ssh terminal im getting this error

pi@raspberrypi:~/AstroCameraApp/PythonScripts $ python3 AstroCam.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "AstroCam.py", line 12, in
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
ImportError: cannot import name 'ImageTk' from 'PIL' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-pack ages/PIL/init.py)

kstars is working and running on my touchscreen display along with the shortcut for the camera preview, im using a 2.8" tft resistive touch screen from adafruit and it measures 320x240 and was trying to figure out how to edit that in the settings as mentioned in your pdf but am having issues there as well. Im not sure if the screen size difference is the issue with it not loading up or not! Im not to experienced in python but am a slightly capable with rpi's.

hope to hear from you soon!

Hi there,

• Raspberry Pi 3B:
  • Buster (brand-new download it via the Raspbery Pi Imager, updated with sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y
  • Camera & SSH enabled
  • 256MB given to the GPU
  • CLI is startup
  • ssh -X from MacOS Catalina into the Pi, using XQuartz for X11
• Raspberry Pi HQ camera (brand new)
• Celestron AstroMaster 70AZ
  • https://www.celestron.com/products/astromaster-70az-telescope
• C-mount to 1.25in telescope adapter (fits inside the viewing end of the telescope instead of one of the eyepieces)
  • https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4341946

Here's how I run AstroCam:

pi@telescope-rpi3:~ $ python3 AstroCameraApp/PythonScripts/AstroCam.py
Start

All I see is black when ISO 100:

or grey when ISO 800:

I will note that the lens cap on the big end of the telescope is off -- and that I can look all the way through to the other side. In fact, just to check, I 3D printed a EF-mount to 1.25in adapter for my Canon EOS SL1 and that does indeed see (somewhat clearly) the plants on the hillside a distance away. Replace that EF-mount to 1.25in adapter and get black or grey in AstroCam.

Help?

Funktioniert das skript auch mit einem Raspberry Pi 3?

Hello Santiago,

I did not realise someone else had also written a GUI program to interface with the Raspberry Pi HQ camera! I just uploaded a program I wrote which I have been using:

https://github.com/adambaskerville/AstroPitography

I saw in one of your issues that there was a flickering issue with the preview window. My program does not seem to have this so you are more than welcome to have a look and see if anything is of use with your project.

Best regards,

Adam
