exposure range for camera

The ZWO website specs for the ASI 290MM camera lists the shortest exposure as 32 microseconds. However, the minimum accepted exposure in Ekos for this camera is 1 millisecond.

Is this a hard limit? or is there a way to get exposure below 0.001 second?

Thanks.

Ekos accepts down to 1 microsecond. Where do you set this? on what version of Ekos?

I agree with Jasem, if the camera selected for capture reports a min exposure time smaller than 1ms, exposure values should display with 6 digits instead of 3.

seems like I lost a post. sorry for any redundancy. i took some screenshots this time though.

Kstars version 2.6.0 release 16-08-3, stock with Debian 9.

I wasn't able before but now the control panel will accept exposure of, say 10^-4 seconds and it works as it should. I expected it to reflect in first window but now it doesn't. Please see screenshot.

But in other locations, only 3 decimal places are accepted: streaming and in ccd & filter taps in Ekos. Again see screenshot.

Is this the way one should expect?

Thanks for responses.

Exposure decimals fix was done April 2017. I don't immediately see if it was in 2.6.0 on my phone, sorry.

You need either the stable KStars 2.9.8 or the nightly release to see this fix. 2.6.0 is old and unsupported.

Thanks for response. Looks like KStars 2.9.8 is available in Debian 10. I'll give that a go.
