I have INDI/Ekos installed on a Mac Pro (High Sierra), with an Apogee Alta camera. When I set up a sequence (typically doing 100 frames or more), the time between exposures tends start out "normal" (3.6 seconds on a 2 second integration), but then drifts longer and longer, then suddenly shoot up to > 10 seconds (often 20-30 seconds). The ~20 seconds between exposures sometimes immediately drops back down to a few seconds (normal timing), or stays pegged at ~20 seconds for quite some time before returning to normal. I've simplified everything down to having nothing connected but the camera, no other obvious processes running. I've broken the sequences up into 100 frame segments, I've put a delay after each exposure. While some of these things seem to help, none of them fix the problem.
Thoughts? Is there any support envisioned for external triggering?
