Ekos is very wonderful.
I changed the environment from Ascom to INDI.

As a desire, I want an interface that can operate live view & movie capture, mount control, focus control on one screen.

It becomes very useful when photographing a planet.

I created a sample screen, so I would like you to consider it.

Thanks for the suggestion, this could be useful for DSLRs. Can you implement that in Ekos?

I would like it as a new feature.

Ekos is very useful, but now we do not have features suitable for movie shooting of planets, so please consider as a new feature.

This a really interesting new feature. I like the design and function.

Might I suggest that if somebody does implement this, that you also consider including cameras with a really fast capture and download time like planetary cameras and cameras like my new one, the ZWO asi 120mm S. They capture images fast enough that it could be a pretty good video stream (or better than one). For example, my ZWO can capture 60 frames per second full resolution and can go even faster if you do a subframe like you would with planets.

It is good to be able to use DSLR and CCD as well.
In the case of DSLR, I want you to expand part.

If only Saturn really would look like it does in your diagram! Unfortunately it is usually quite a bit fuzzier.

I added "Live Video" button to Capture module. I guess only remaining part is to enable video recording so I need to figure out a way to do it in a cross-platform fashion using Qt. I'll be working on that in the next few days. This now works for all cameras that supports streaming like:

1. ZWO
2. QHY
3. Canon DSLRs
4. V4L2 cameras.

This extension is in the EOS utility.

By the way, this Saturn image is shrinking what I took.
