About this image

There is nothing special about this Moon image - except that I was able to take it at all. I have just discovered that a feature in the INDI telescope control software that defaults to "force Bulb mode" ON on DSLR cameras is what had been preventing any exposure faster than 1 second in the Ekos camera module. Switched to OFF, now I can shoot something as bright as the Moon through my telescope.
