The camera is recognized but doesn't seem to accept instructions from LEM, doesn't fire test exposures. I followed the suggestions to disable any other applications that might access the camera. Tethering does work with Adobe Lightroom. I had used Solar Eclipse Maestro for the 2017 eclipse (Thanks!) with D800 and the same MacBook Air (but an older OS version I guess).

The Hardware Configuration setup recognizes the camera, but appears to not fully complete the installation of the camera in LEM. It seems to be hanging, because there are spinning activity icons next to the "Camera 1" box and "Refresh" button. I hope a fix can be provided before the eclipse.
BTW - I am also running iOS Mojave 10.14.

LEM also immediately shuts down upon launch if one or the other or both cameras are already turned on. I checked the Photos app and notice it recognizes when one or the other or both cameras are connected. I have automatic downloads from the cameras disabled in Photos, but can find no way to disable Photos camera detection. Is Photos the problem? BTW I used the same two cameras and laptop, but running a earlier version of Mac-OS, successfully for lunar eclipse last year.
