I mean controlling the in camera focus using SM. I've just tried it and it seems to work, though that wasn't pointed at stars it was just in the house.
I'll look to give it a go later this week if the clouds head off
Will make a nice addition to the main scope running a wide field off SLR mounted to the scope so whilst I wont get dithering on the Z6 if the scope if guiding, it should be stable for a long exposure elsewhere in the sky at a shorter focal length I think?
I was surprised at the long download speed, quite a few seconds to get the image from the camera, but that could be a combo of USB2 and a PI3B+ rather than my usual Pi4 USB3 on the main scope camera.
Quite looking forward to trying this out!

Hmmm I have managed to get both Ekos and Kstars to crash today whilst playing.
I was exploring the ISO settings, last time I tried these with a stable Stellarmate it had no effect. I did this through the capture module. Happy to report in ISO now seems to work on the Beta I am running.
Focus also works, using the live preview I was able to focus the lens in and out - not tried a star yet, that's tonights test but works with the row of trees in the garden.
However if I try and set say 2 exposures in a sequence, it crashes Ekos/Kstars
it seems to be crashing when it tries to save the file after downloading it.
I turned on debugging (File, verbose etc) but I am struggling with the Ekos Debugger hopefully I've done this right!
