Hi everybody, i want to try some wide-field astrophotos with my canon 450D and the original lens (FL 18-55mm). But there is a limitation with the autofocus.

If i want to focus in and out using Ekos (Focus module), i have to set the autofocus on AF mode on the lens, this works well. But then i can't trigger capture because the camera autofocus gets confused with the dark. On the other hand, if i set the autofocus mode to Manual, i can capture but the focus routine of EKOS can't run as the lens can't be focused remotly with the focus module.

I have tried to find out a way or a setting to let the AF mode on the lens, without the camera autofocus, without success.

So my question is : do you know a way to do that, a setting in the camera or something else ?
