<p>Thank You Hy! <br>
</p>
<p>I think that solved my problem.<br>
</p>
<p>I actually had not established a separate train for the guider.
My guide cam is on an OAG, and so I had only been using a single
train; which had the imaging camera as "Camera", and the guide
camera as "Guider". So now I've created a separate train for the
guiding, each train now only has the appropriate "Camera" selected
(and nothing selected for "Guider"). <br>
</p>
<p>I just tested it on my Desktop PC and looks like it is working.
So I'll do the same for my Raspberry Pi.<br>
</p>
<p>I guess this is a behavior change from the older version I had on
the Pi.</p>
<p>I'm very relieved!<br>

<div>First you should make sure that </div>

<div>- the guide train shows your guide tab on it </div>
<div>- the other tabs show your primary camera on it</div>

<div>Re your question about GUIDER_EXPOSURE: I'm not familiar

All,<br>
<br>
I recently refreshed my Raspberry Pi4 to Ubuntu 22.04 and also
upgraded <br>
KStars to 3.6.4 Stable. I'm hesitant to report the following
issue as <br>
a bug because it's likely that I have a miss configuration,
caused by my <br>
upgrade process.<br>
<br>
Last night was the first test with the upgraded Pi. But I ran
into a <br>
problem with guiding; When I started an imaging capture the
guiding <br>
failed. I soon realized that guiding was using my imaging
camera instead <br>
of my guide camera; so the imaging capture was conflicting
with guiding.<br>
<br>
Today I was able to reproduce this issue on my desktop pc
using the same <br>
cameras, (but running the telescope simulator instead of my
mount).<br>
<br>
I traced the problem of the guider selecting my imaging camera
to this <br>
line of code:<br>
<br>
guide.cpp:739 ISD::CameraChip *targetChip = <br>
m_Camera->getChip(useGuideHead ? ISD::CameraChip::GUIDE_CCD
: <br>
ISD::CameraChip::PRIMARY_CCD);<br>
<br>
this is combined with the fact that the guide camera I use (an
ASI-290mm <br>
-Mini), is returning a false on the call to hasGuideHead().
(Just to be <br>
clear, my imaging camera does not even have a guide port.)<br>
<br>
I looked a bit further into the code, and discovered that a
property <br>
named GUIDER_EXPOSURE would need to be included in guide
camera <br>
definition order for the HasGuideHead value to be true. This
property is <br>
not being found by indicamera for my ASI-290mm - Mini. This
property <br>
appears to be part of CustomProperties, but it's also in a
list <br>
(skipProperties), so I think that even if it were being set,
it would be <br>
ignored.<br>
<br>
So, I'm quite lost at this point; and would appreciate any
help from you <br>
all.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
<br>
