CCD and Video-Capture Setup

KStars supports Finger Lakes instruments CCDs and any Video4Linux compatible device. Philips webcam extended features are supported as well.

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 displayed in the KStars FITSViewer. 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.
