Thanks. Can you use OpenSkyImager to control the camera?
Yes, it works as expected.
Thank you

Make sure that the card is 16GB in capacity. I recommend Sandisk Ultra.

dear, I have to say the image "https://drive.google...cEE?usp=sharing" is not available for Chinese astrophotography society. It is a pity. So could you please provide the other available link? Thanks a lot.
Which cloud drive can you access?
Anat
Thanks for your reply! Could you please use "https://pan.baidu.com/" which is very popular in China.

I have a Sandisk Extreme and you're right, it works like a champ.
Actually I have a 32GB card and I had to run raspi-config and choose option 1 "Expand Filesystem" to use the card to its full capacity.
Thank you.

Hi Anat,
I'm still playing a bit with the new release and I'd like to tell you that once again you've done a terrific job, the improvements are real!
However, one thing I believe it's a little overlooked also from the previous releases (which doesn't do justice to the powerful engine under the hood) is the user interface which, in my opinion, is a little too messy and confusing, especially in the main and admin pages.
As I already did with previous versions, I have modified my local installation by adding tabs which, I believe, give much more clarity to the user interface.
Also, since I use iAH on a tablet, having larger buttons and controls improves usability.
Maybe a possible future improvement to iAH could be to add UI skins, what do you think?
Attached you can see my present modifications so far, still working on it.
Thank you.

Hi Piero,
Wow. It looks nice. I am sorry that I missed your UI in the last update.
Would you be able to update the iAH 3.0 interface to the UI style you made? It would be much more user friendly. Please look for iAstroHub_*.html and admin.php
I will be happy to make the patch or upgrade the whole image.
Thank you.
Anat

Wow! What an awesome project!
I have a quick question. Will I be able to guide a mount with guider port only (Like Synta Star Adventurer) using Lodestar on-board guider port?

Yes. It was tested on staradventurer. You only select one axis in Linguider. It is explained in the manual.Wow! What an awesome project!

For users who want to download from baidu, you can get the iAstroHub image file, patch, and manual from

Dear Anat!
Thank you so very much for all your hard work and sharing this awesome product !!! iAstrohub will definetly help me a lot in astrophotography.
There is one thing I am struggeling with though and I wonder if iAH could help with polar alignment.
Sharcap 2.9 includes a handy polar alignment routine that works nicely with my standard autoguider + viewfinder combo (see http://www.sharpcap....polar-alignment). This tool was inspired by the PhotoPolarAlign application created by Themos Tsikas. The source code can be downloaded here: https://github.com/T...PhotoPolarAlign
Do you think this could be included into iAH as well?

I have been thinking about ways to assist polar alignment using iAstroHub. Thanks for stirring up the idea again After finishing patches of iAstroHub 3.0, PolarAlign will be the top of my todo list.

This is good news! Please let me know if I can help with testing.

Does the current version of IAH support connecting to the mount via Serial over TCP . Ideally I would like to connect scope hand controller to skyfi or just use skyqlink and then connect the IAH to that via wifi and then connect to the IAH via Skysafari . This way i can mount all the imaging equipment (RPi3, Powered USB Hub, DewContoller, Power Distribution, Focus Controller, Flat EL Panel Inverter) on a dovetail on the top of the scope and only need to run 1 12v power cable up to the top. This would minimize cable lengths and allow for using the dovetail for extra balance on my C8 since it tend to lean rear heavy.

Yes. iAH talked with Skysafari from Day1
Use Port 3300 and IP address 10.0.0.1. And use Port 3301 for Tak Temma.

My Pi just arrived and looking forward to installing this. One question which doesn't seem to be covered in the manual - does this support Altair Astro GPCAM/GPCAM2 for guiding which is very popular in the UK?
Polar alignment assistance will be very helpful to me as I don't have a view of Polaris from my normal observation location.

It looks very much like QHY5Lii. Can you confirm that it is manufactured by QHY? If yes, it will work with iAstroHub. Maybe, we need to add the device in the udev rules file.
Please insert the camera and use these commands:
lsusb
dmesg
And send me the screen output.
