I have researched this a little more. Firstly, I tried to compile the old kstars 3.4.3 and see if the error is still there. Interestingly enough, the error was still present when using the 3.4.3. Then I reverted to an older system image on my raspi with a working kstars 3.4.3 and the error was gone. So my assumption is, that something in the "sudo apt update; sudo apt full-upgrade" that I did in order to get the latest kstars 3.5.2 must have done something. To test this, I used the old system image and only compiled kstars 3.5.2 without a "sudo apt full-upgrade" beforehand. It compiled fine and does not show the error anymore!? So technically, I now have a working up-to-date kstars and ekos, but it leaves a strange feeling that something is still wrong. But that is as far as my basic linux skills will take me. My last insight is that it is related to indi_gphoto_ccd driver. The error only occurs with the Version 3 of this driver. Version 2.9 was ok. Also, the error only occurs with my older Canon 1000d attached. A newer Canon 760d works fine. I have filed a request for help in the indilib forum, also showing all my findings in this respect (https://www.indilib.org/forum/ccds-dslrs/9314-indi-gphoto-and-focus-module-issue-since-v3-0-and-astroberry.html) Please check against KStars 3.6.1 and report back.

Created attachment 137140 [details] log file SUMMARY I have recently upgraded from kstars 3.4.3 to 3.5.2. on my Raspi 4. Since then, I get error messages "Exposure Failed" when I try to take a focus exposure (full field). After 3x trying, Ekos stops and aborts the process. The camera behaves like it should (shutter opening and closing) Strangely enough, the camera module in ekos works fine, capturing and showing files in fits-viewer. I tried compiling the 3.5.3 beta, but it shows the same behavior (see attached excerpt from log file). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. start kstars and ekos 2. connect devices through indi (I use a Canon 1000d DSLR with indi Canon driver) 3. go to focus, take picture (blue camera symbol). OBSERVED RESULT Abort without picture. No focusing possible, therefore major issue! EXPECTED RESULT Picture shows up in window, ready to select star for focus.
