KStars and using ASI120 in Astroberry

First of all, ZWO's ASI AIR do not support its own ASI120 cameras. Here's to show how it can be done using free and open source astroberry instead

from kStars > tools> Ekos

It's better to do capture, guiding etc in Ekos. 

These steps in blue are just for reference, that the capturing can be done under INDI settings too.
 

 These are INDI settings, Controls tab. Use the Main Control tab to take a shot

INDI:

INDI Controls and Ekos.

These displayed values are duplicates
 

INDI control:

you can control camera's gain and offset here too. ( Instead of in Ekos). Not sure what the other settings are for. Bandwidth is USB bandwidth?

INDI:

exposure is set in Main Control. 

NB: if you change the exposure in Ekos, the displayed value here in INDI  is not always updated here. 

Vice versa, if you set a new value here in INDI, the displayed value in Ekos, however, is also changed.

In astroberry, you can also use FireCapture

Note:

INDI web manager ( in the left hide-able taskbar) is not absolutely needed to start, in order to use kStars, or Ekos.

Strangely, Gamma is not available on Ekos and INDI....

using the default firmware has less chopped video than using the "compatible" version.
