Hi,
this is my first post here so hello everyone and thank you all for all this great information!

I wanted to know if a specific setting is possible in ekos/kstars/indi.
Sandly my DSLR (Sony SLT A77) is not supported via gphoto2 or other tethering software so i was wondering if i can get aroud this by using an EyeFi Pro SD Card and trigger the camera with a GPIO pin on the RPi3.
The EyeFi Pro Card can upload RAW files to a FTP location.

The procedure would be like this:
1. press capture in ekos/kstars -> start python script to trigger the camera with GPIO
2. EyeFi Card transmits RAW file to a localc folder
3. ekos/kstars loads last imported image

thanks
cosmogene

So can someone tell me if this is possible?

I suppose you can use CCD Simulator to capture stuff, then use post-capture script to do the "real" capture. It's an ugly hack but could work... in theory.
