I have an Oculus all sky camera. Have used INDI (libindi-1.0.0) to write a client for the camera on my Mac. I have run it using both the INDI server for Mac from Cloudmaker and the INDI server running on a Raspberry 2. I get strange behavior as I increase the exposure. In a room lit by indirect daylight, I can double the exposure from 0.001 second to about 0.08 seconds and the image barely changes (median is about 1400 counts). Going from 0.08 to 0.1 and the median jumps to 40,000 counts.
If I connect the camera to a windows machine and run the Oculus_USB.exe program from Starlieght (Ian Bruce is the author). I see expected behaviour: going from 0.005 to 0.01 doubles the median signal, and going to 0.02 doubles the median signal again. This is in stark contrast to the behaviour on the Mac side.
So, has anyone else seen such behavior with Starlight cameras and Macs? So far I do not know if it is the server logic on the Linus/Mac side or the Mac client side libraries. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Ralph Pass
