Hi,
I built myself a flip flat following this thread (in french):
www.webastro.net/forums/topic/172634-un-flip-flat-pour-4-sous/
I’m using it with Ekos with the Alnitak Indi Driver. It works great manually when using it through the Indi panel ( park/unpark and light).
But when I tried to integrate it in my workflow with my camera it is not involved. It works only with the CCD simulator.
Here is the calibration option I used for dark/bias and flats: (see calibration picture attached)
This the test sequence I used :
1 light 1 s
1 dark 1s
1 flat 1 s
1 light 1
With simulator
Here are the Logs:

Same observation with a Canon DSL as camera...
Is there something particular to configure a CCD camera?
What I’m doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help.
