When I schedule a job taking multiple photos and storing the pictures on camera, I end up with 2 versions of each photo on the memory card. The first is with an exposure of exactly 1 sec. and the second is with the exposure I initially set, for example 60 sec. That way if I want to have for example 100x60 sec. exposures, I end up with 100 photos of 60 sec. + 100 photos of 1 sec. That happens only to photos stored in the Canon’s memory card. If I chose to store the pictures on the RPi, or on the local computer I have only the photos with the exposures I set. Am guess I’m missing something in the Camera settings, but I can’t find it. Thanks if you can point me to the right direction.

I've been using the astroberry server for a few months now and I'd like to thank its developer and all the people who shared their experience. As for many other people, the hardest thing for me was the WiFi setup, which in my case was behaving erratically (I'm using a Mac remotely controlling a Raspberry 3+). Now the problems are mostly gone but I'm worried that I have to start the efforts again if there is a new version of astroberry. I just saw that the official images for Ubintu Mate 18.04.2 (Bionic) for Raspberry Pi 3+ are available and I wonder whether or when a new version would be available? Are there any plans to make the WiFi connection process more user friendly? Thanks.
