Some, probably very basic /stupid questions from a noob:

  1. I'm using a dslr (Fuji X-T2) and focusing with a Bahtinov mask. Is it possible to use the Ekos focus module to get an analysis of the focus while I adjust it manually by hand (I don't have a motorised focuser)? If so is there a guide /video /instructions on how to do this?
  2. Related to the above, is it possible to use the video mode of a dslr to get a live stream? If so how?
  3. I've got plate solving, mount control (LX200 Onstep), and SkySafari connection working with indi. It's our possible to configure so that I can select a goto target in SkySafari and have Ekos goto, plate solve, and slew to the target? If so, how? I can do this from within Kstars but its still a two step process - goto in Kstars and then switch to Ekos for solve and slew.
Thanks in advance.
