Hi there,

First: I really want to thank you for this amazing piece of software. It's incredibly well made and I'm 100% sure it will bring my astrophotography experience to next level.

I'm experiencing some issue while I'm trying to use my Nikon D7000 as primary CCD in Ekos.
The camera appears to be working fine via Gphoto2 module and it seems that Ekos recognise it as "Online" when I connect it.
However if I try to use the Preview or Capture and Solve functions, it doesn't go anywhere (just keep saying Capturing...).
If I execute "gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download" I'm indeed able to get a picture from the camera.
I know there is another post opened for similar issue but I would appreciate if you guys can help me with some direction.

Thanks in advance

Cris

What version of INDI & KStars you're using? Can you capture an image using the INDI control panel?

EDIT: There is a known issue with Nikon DSLRs we're trying to resolve, check here: indilib.org/forum/general/213-ccd-driver-problems.html?start=6

Hi Cris, you may want to check the gphoto2 --get-config shutterspeed2 and gphoto2 --set-config shutterspeed2=... commands to see if your problem is similar to mine. See topic link in knro's reply for the details.

Thanks guys

Well, I guess it's a similar issue:

But I'm not really sure how to move from there, I'm not an expert with compiling or coding.

Many thanks in advance!

A patch was applied to resolve this issue. Packages should be available in a day, just use Muon Update Manager to update, or

Gentlemen

I just ran an update and finally I'm able to use my Nikon D7000 DLR... everything seems working just fine and I cannot wait to test it in the field

Thank you so much!!!
