My understanding (which may be wrong) is that Indi streamed mode uses the same exposure as you set in the main tab for each CCD.

I have used it successfully to get a continuous image stream from my CCDs (ASI 120 MC and QHY5-II) while aligning the finder with the main scope during the day, but when I use streamed mode at night I get blackness whatever I set the exposure to. If I take individual images by pressing the "set" button on the exposure tab then things work as expected and the exposure is obeyed.

Have I misunderstood streamed mode or am I doing something else wrong? Or is this just a feature of my cheap Chinese CCDs?

There used to be a mode on the focus tab where you could get repeated images in a FITS viewer window but that seems to have disappeared. Repeated automatic imaging is really useful for a newbie like me while trying to line everything up. Is there some other way to get it?
