Moonlite focuser connected fine and appears to work ok.

For CCDs:

I've had no luck with the SBIG ST-i. Indi seems to have trouble initialising it. And I found that the camera got quite warm after being connected for a while.

The QHY 5 doesn't connect but no error appears.

For the DSLR, the OS recognises the 6D fine, and I get indi connecting ok, but I can't seem to get it to take a photo/preview just yet. I'll have to investigate gphoto2 further to check how well the 6D is supported.

Also, I'm in the process of going to "kstars-bleeding" and building from the latest sources.
I am wondering if there is any editable Config-like file behind each of the scope, CCD, FW, focuser choices.
