AstroPi3: Canon1100D does not take picture in KStars

Hi all,
today we (a high school student and myself, a planetarium educator) got AstroPi3 to work on a RaspberryPi3. Thanks for the awesome guide and software package.
Our setup is quite simple, we only have one mount/telescope and a Canon 1100D.

While everything works fine, we stumbled upon a minor issue. We can take images using the preview button in the Ekos manager (and we can also save it, using the save button at the bottom of the preview window), but we cannot take a picture from within KStars. Whenever we right click in the KStars main window, and select the Camera to do a Light frame, the camera does nothing. Unfortunately, neither the student nor myself do have a lot of UNIX and/or programming experience.

We are on a headless setup, connecting wia the Raspberry's AP using VNCviewer. I've checked this forum to see whether someone else encountered the same problem, but either nobody else had this problem or I couldn't find it.

Thanks in advance for your help!
David

PS. I thought I posted this message before in the forum, but probably I did something wrong. If it should appear twice, I apologize.
