New user of KSTARS / INDI here.
I have a Sony SLT-A55 that I would like to use for imaging. Reading the information - which can be a bit confusing sometimes - it should work.
When I start EKOS I get a pop up :-
"[WARNING] Warning: Didn't find an exposure widget! Are you sure the camera is set to Bulb mode? "
It is in BULB mode.
I am running UBUNTU 18.04 with latest INDI - all software installed from scratch 2 days ago and latest updates applied. Below is an extract from the INDI log file.
Any pointers please?
