piDNG.convert in new bookworm build fails

[Marcus8675]

preview and auto seem to work but when first light image is take the code exits due to failure to DNG convert. output is listed below:

Hmm... looks like it's trying to extract the .DNG data from a raspistill image but doesn't have the PiDNG library loaded. I can't recreate the error immediately in Buster or Bookworm...

... digging ...

OK, I compared my running version with the GitHub version, looks like I messed up the merge. I'll repost the src/pilomar.py code again...

Try downloading src/pilomar.py and giving it another go.

That solved it! Thanks for the update. Can you do anything about these clouds? :(

[Short-bus]

Great. Thanks for raising it, I have 4 instances running in different configurations - I missed that 'raspistill' check from the mastercopy, but my local instance was OK. I'll close this one now.

Can you do anything about these clouds? :(

I can only sympathise on that one. There was a good aurora display a few days ago here, 100% cloud cover coincided precisely with the show. We've chosen an infuriating sport I think :)
