dng raw format not supported?

[Herbert Fu]

I have been using ASTAP in EAA (live stacking feature) for a while with happy results. I used a Pi 3B+ and a native Pi HQ camera for this. I have been capturing in png format to make life simpler for the small 3B+. With Pi OS moving to scrap the native Pi camera commands and adopt libcamera I am setting up a new system with these. The biggest change I am going to make is to capture in RAW, and for Pi camera this is DNG. I tried to test how these DNG will live stack in ASTAP but to find that the same file is being read over and over again, so it is stacking itself. It seems that ASTAP append a .fit extension to the DNG file and then do the stacking, but it did not make additional change to the file extension to mark that it has been stacked. So the same file is being stack forever.

Hello Herbert,

If I remember well this was solved a few months ago. If I test it in Windows using the latest ASTAP it doesn't happen. The Raspberry Pi version has not been updated since November but I don't remember if it was fixed in this November version.

Have you the latest version? and if not try the latest version. If it doesn't work tell me then I will compile a newer version.

Thanks Han, I was using my linux desktop to test. That is an old version. Today I test it on the latest Pi version and it works perfectly. Thanks.
