How to know if my USB flash drive is detected and choose the type of file I want (JPEG and/or individual FITS files)?

To know if your key is detected, go to :
Your Space Center > Click on your Stellina instrument > Check the Storage folder



To make sure that the pictures are saved, connect the USB key before launching the initialization, or even before turning on the instrument. Then check that the memory is getting smaller as you observe.

If the files do not save, your flash drive may need to be reformatted.
