Question: Updated Camera Recommendation #44

Closed USAFPride closed 3 years ago

USAFPride commented 5 years ago

Are there any updates to the recommended cameras (new/better cameras) vs what is in the readme?

An ASI camera from ZWO. Tested cameras include ASI120MC, ASI120MM, ASI120MC-S, ASI120MM-S, ASI224MC, ASI178MC, ASI185MC, ASI290MC, ASI1600MC

All Cameras from ZWO should work but keep in mind that those with a large sensor will produce large images and it will put more load on the Raspberry Pi cpu and ram.

Yep, I have an ASI178MC and the image resolution (3096x2080) breaks the timelapse function. So I added some code to resize the image 50% before saving. This allows the timelapse to work and the images still look really good.

This issue is from a much older release of the AllSky software. If you think it might still be relevant, please test it with the newest version and submit a new issue if needed. Thanks.
