OK. Some news.
gphoto2 --camera « Canon EOS 1100D » --port usb: --capture-image-and-download
will give an error
Saving file as capt0000.cr2
Deleting file /capt0000.cr2 on the camera
*** Error (-1: 'Unspecified error') ***

but capt0000.cr2 is well saved in /home..... So gphoto seems working.

EDIT:
gphoto2 --set-config eosremoterelease=2 --wait-event=10s --set-config eosremoterelease=4 --force-overwrite --wait-event-and-download=2s
gives same error than ekos ...

Shame this did not get resolved, I experienced this last night in a dark sky location. I did manage to fluff around with the timing of the camera with the Ekos operation, but can't remember how I did it. Now that I am home the same is occurring.

I noticed that the camera is doing un-usual things not normally. The red light flickers when switching on, the display goes busy than normal camera operations. Finally, after locating the error, I came back to the camera, switch it off and the "sensor clean" display does not appear as usual.
This was with the Canon DSLR Driver, I tried to use gphoto, but the error message appeared.

I will try and fluff around to get it working unless I find another post with more details.

Last night INDI version was 1.93, today it is 1.94. So it is an ongoing issue but never seen it before.
