No bulb_widget is found. Is that supposed to be the case? The 20d does not support eosremoterelease. Bulb is a "shutterspeed" with the 20d.

The software should not get to the point where it is comparing selected exposure time vs. the cam's exposure list calculating a delta. It should check whether "bulb" is a setting in this list and choose the correspoing best_idx = 0.

Our messages crossed. There is a May 2017 comment in the gphoto_driver.cpp code (related to ram/sdcard problems) that mentions the 20d. I believe we had been working with the 20d before and I would be shocked to find out that was not in bulb mode. I'll check whether I can find older messages related to the 20d.

Does merely setting shutterspeed index to 0 (bulb) begins a bulb exposure? Please try that, and if it indeeds trigger the exposure then I'll update the code accordingly.

No exposure is triggered, only the display shows "bulb". Is there no way of transmitting a "press shutter release" command to the cam via USB?

Looks like my impression is wrong and I had not taken long exposures with the 20d running Kstars/Indi in the past. I'm sorry for the troube I might have caused and formally apologize. Is there a way to work around this? Does anybody have experience with an external shutter release that supports bulb mode and can be triggered by Indi?
