ASI SDK Issue

Sun Jun 23 21:21:40 BST 2024

and here's very likely another user with the same issue:
https://indilib.org/forum/focusers-filter-wheels/14756-camera-in-focuser-tab-stop-working-still-works-on-camera-tab-and-astrometry-tab.html
Note--he's taking pictures with an ASI1600, he's failing in focus (probably
short exposures) but succeeding in Capture (I'm guessing longer exposures).
That is my scenario. I was unable to reply to him (some issues with the
forum software).
