Hello,

I am working for a friend to see if the Celestron Skyris 132C can be used as a Guiding camera.
My friend is using the Stellarmate OS and is using version 1.5.5. For this I use the DMK CCD driver. I run into two errors.

1 mistake is the limitation that I cannot use more than 1 sec exposure time. At more than 1 sec I get an error message that I have to use less than 1 sec.
I get this message away if I only use 1 sec exposure time.
2nd mistake I don't know what to do with this. The camera works but with every capture it gives the message "Failed switching to manual exposure, control is unavailable".

I have sent two log files and a photo as attachments.

I hope anybody can help us.

Thanks for now.

Peter
