First, fantastic program. I repurposed an Intel MacBook Pro for Mojave, to run SEM. It ALMOST works. The problems:

Simple first, 1/2 exposes as 1/2.5, and 1" exposes as 1/1.3, both are valid in 1/3 EV increments, and show as valid in the program's table (1.3" works).

Symptomatically, only every second TAKEPIC works (easy workaround is to do everything twice). This is independent of the timing between TAKEPICs.
The log says things like:

Jan 4 13:50:06 Solar Eclipse Maestro[1840] <Info>: Simulated time set to 2024/04/08 at 19:03:41.4 UTC (time flow rate index: 1)
Jan 4 13:50:51 Solar Eclipse Maestro[1840] <Notice>: Acquisition mode on camera #1 is S
Jan 4 13:50:51 Solar Eclipse Maestro[1840] <Info>: SIML +0.0s ISO 100 1/50 s f/8.0 RAW E-M1-II
Jan 4 13:50:51 Solar Eclipse Maestro[1840] <Notice>: Error 'Operation Not Supported' while terminating exposure 0x0000013B on Olympus camera #1 'E-M1-II' (line #39)
Jan 4 13:50:52 Solar Eclipse Maestro[1840] <Notice>: Acquisition mode on camera #1 is S
Jan 4 13:50:52 Solar Eclipse Maestro[1840] <Info>: SIML +0.0s ISO 100 1/50 s f/8.0 RAW E-M1-II
Jan 4 13:50:52 Solar Eclipse Maestro[1840] <Notice>: Error 'Operation Not Supported' while terminating exposure 0x00000140 on Olympus camera #1 'E-M1-II' (line #40)

The corresponding script lines are:

TAKEPIC,C2,+,00:05.0,E-M1-II,1/50,8.0,100,0.000,RAW,None,N,
TAKEPIC,C2,+,00:06.0,E-M1-II,1/50,8.0,100,0.000,RAW,None,Y,

(the N/Y doesn't seem to matter, succeeding lines are Y and fail the same way)

Any ideas? Thanks
