RPI Camera and long exposures

RPI Camera and long exposures was created by Chad

I have always had this issue. I am using the HQ Raspberry Pi camera.

In the Indi Control Pane for the RPI Camera i enter 10seconds for exposure and the count down time gets to about 7seconds and it fast forwards to zero. So really it took about a 3 second exposure from my point of view.

I have to take another exposure of 10seconds and it counts down the exposure right.



Any ideas? Or is this bug that needs fixed?
Thanks!

This is a known bug. You have to take an initial throw away exposure, and then all subsequent exposures are correct.

Acording to github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty/issues/271 and my testing the only way is to take first exposure exactly 7 seconds, and all exposures after that will be correct.
