I have dark filter, and it works, but not in the way you might expect. The main headache is if you select the dark filter and then run a line of "Light" frames in the capture module, it will try to autofocus, it can't do it, and so the sequence aborts.

What you need to do is select the dark filter by one of two means:-
1. In the Capture module, use the dropdown box to click on your dark filter as if you were about to do a run of "lights" with the dark filter OR
2. Go to INDI --> EFW --> Controls --> (#slot you use for dark filter) --> SET

You will now have your dark filter in place on your filter wheel.

Now go back to capture module, select your time and number of exposures and then Dark from the Light/Bias/Dark/Flat dropdown box, and activate a line in the module. When you press play on the capture module, you'll get the instruction to cover your camera or scope, which you now have, hit continue and it will do its run.

I wish there was a way we could circumvent this and just do a run of "Lights" but with the dark filter, but it seems to not be a thing. Others have requested this feature in the past.
