I am having a problem with an ASI120MM camera. I can start indi in Ekos the camera connects fine. When I try to either capture or preview an image it gives the message capturing image but will not download or display in fits. I can get an image with PHD2. Could there be parameters I need to set in indi?

ِAre you using packages from the PPA or compiled? Anything displayed in the server log window? Can you capture directly from INDI control panel and not Ekos?

The packages are from the PPA on Linux Mint 16 KDE. the indi server log window says: 2014-08-08T18:03:34: Driver indi_asi_ccd: Taking a 1 seconds frame. nothing else for 5 + minutes. I am not certain how to capture from indi control panel.

Just go to the INDI Control Panel, main tab, you'll see a property called Expose, put the number of seconds then press "Set". It should capture and download an image.

under the "Image Info" tab, what is the reported resolution? Also, in Ekos CCD Tab, what is the Width/Height in Ekos CCD module set to?
