1 month ago @seafurymike, Allsky doesn't support the imx296 sensor. The next release will provide a message saying that versus saying "camera not found". Please run the following:
libcamera-still --list-cameras -v
libcamera-still -v --nopreview --timeout 1 --metadata - --shutter 1 --output /dev/nulland post the output. Also, include a URL for camera information and I can look into supporting it in the next release.

1 month ago Thanks. I think you are going to find it doesn't make a very good allsky camera since it is limited to 15 second exposures.

1 month ago Damn, didnt realise. Thought using the HQ camera would be a good option. Will have to rethink what i should do for a camera then. Is there any details on good options and potentially outputs from those options?

1 month ago I always recommend the HQ camera. It's a good one and a lot less expensive than ZWO. And you can get lenses that give 180 FOV. T Module 3 and other cameras with an attached lens are 80 - 120 FOV which might be fine if you can't see a lot of the sky.

1 month ago Closing Issue. Will not support - this sensor has a short maximum exposure so will not work as an allsky camera.
