So it's almost been a week that I've been stuck. I don't know if I have a driver corruption, or some other incompatibility. I get stability issues as a developer so let's work through this...

All I'm trying to do is use Ekos to polar align. And it just hangs in capturing. Should it take minutes? I can capture images in Canon or GPhoto and see them in the FITS viewer. However, if I switch from Native to FITS format in capture, it also hangs. Could these be related since polar alignment uses FITS? I'm also downloaded Astrometry index files to my Mac which is running KStars. I have "Remote" selected, but the index files are on my Mac and not the pi, is this the issue? What should be the setup?

I've installed KStars 3.5.1 (yup, old polar align assistant doesn't work either), 3.5.2 and 3.5.3 Beta. All the same.

I also attempted to sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mutlaqja/libgphoto2, but that fails because Raspbian/buster distribution.

Pi3B+ running Astroberry v2.0.3.
