I have a strange problem with Ekos Capture Module in that it will save light frames but not flat frames. I am using the automatic calibration for the flats. I can see the process happening as it works out the exposure. It says it has captured then frame but then it stops without saving. Has anyone encountered this before and if so is there a solution?

Thanks

Thanks once again Dave. I'm off to try this again now.

Thanks so much for these. I seem to be making progress with these settings. One issue I still have is that the exposures are all the same regardless of the exposure time set in Capture module. Any ideas?

That will be extremely helpful thanks. I suppose the issue where I live is that clear nights are few and far between so it has to be foolproof really so any help appreciated.

Yes I'm about to give up too unless anyone has a magic solution.

Thanks for these posts as I'm sure they will be helpful once I figure out what else I have to do. I have tried these settings but still remain unable to capture images using Ekos. My set up is

Fuji X-T3
SW Star Adventurer
ZWO 120MM-S Guide camera
Astroberry

When using PHD2 for guiding and controlling the camera manually everything works fine.
When I try to use EKOS to control the X-T3 I just get messages saying "capture aborted" and Indi control panel usually says either something in relation to the directory.
It would be very useful to see a screen shot of the camera and filter wheel screen in Ekos and of each of the tabs in the main camera section of Indi Control panel or to receive any suggestions.

Thanks

Steve
