This is my first real night outside. Unfortunately, I get this kind of message :(
The canon 600D is plugged on the CEM60 hub.

2018-06-19T21:02:29: [ERROR] Exposure failed to save image... Unspecified error

Any idea ?

With command-line GPhoto same issue? i.e.
gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=gphoto.txt  --capture-image-and-download

Hi Jasem,
Hum, looks like I hadn't gphoto2 installed because when I entered the command line the system told me that gphoto2 was missing.
I can't understand how it could work without it. Maybe gphoto was installed but not gphoto2.

Because gphoto2 is the frontend application, which uses libgphoto2 library which what the INDI driver is using. At any rate, what are the results from gphoto?

I have the same camera, what other settings did you have in the driver? Save to SD card?

Just a thought. Could it be that mirror lock up is enabled in the cam? Would explain the „every second picture“ problem

I have the same issue. I started to format the sd card BEFORE i start a new plate solving session. Then its all fine. By the way, there is another strange thing happening here.

I work on ngc 6888 atm, and every day i first slew to jupiter and vega or another star for focusing. Sometimes 2 in a row. Then i slew to ngc6888. The funny thing: all the „focusing positions“ are solved immideatly by offline solver. But not one time i managed to solve ngc6888 by the offline solver. I had to change to online solver every day. How can that be?

Cheers
Niki
