Hi Dale,
I'm sure you are ahead of me, but just in case:
Skysolve didn't immediately work when I installed the newcamlib version on the standard 64bit Raspberry Pi OS (non-legacy). I had to install the cv2 python library manually with sudo apt install python3-opencv . After that everything worked great with my Raspberry Pi 4 and HQ Camera.

Any chance we could get a button in the web interface to shutdown? Would be nice to not have to have the switch since autohotspot seems to work well.

newcamlib is a development branch and in the middle of being worked on. It has several issues but sort of works.

There is already a button under help to shutdown.

Thanks, I'll take a look at the help section.

Just FYI: I finally got clear skies and the newCamLib branch worked perfectly on my RPi4 with both the HQ camera and the much larger pixel Raspberry Pi Global Shutter camera. Since the global shutter camera is the same price, naturally lower resolution, and has larger more sensitive pixels, I think its a better option than the HQ camera.
Thanks for building this Dale, all my dob's just got a lot smarter!
