CCD and Video-Capture Setup

KStars supports the following imaging devices:

You can run CCD and Video Capture devices from the Device Manager in the Devices menu. Like all INDI devices, some of the device controls will be accessible from the skymap. The device can be controlled fully from the INDI Control Panel.

The standard format for image capture is FITS. Once an image is captured and downloaded, it will be automatically displayed in the KStars FITS Viewer. To capture a sequence of images, use the Capture Image Sequence tool from the Devices menu. This tool is inactive until you establish a connection to an image device.

Important

The FLICCD driver requires root privileges in order to operate properly. Note that running the driver as root is considered a security risk
