Getting my Fujifilm XT-2 running in KStars / Ekos
I then found out that Ekos uses gphoto2 to control cameras. So I did some more reading. Like here, here, and, for some commands, here so I could try using gphoto2's command line.

Getting my Fujifilm XT-2 running in KStars / Ekos
After a little trial and error (the XT-2 does not like it if you tell it to take an exposure of a length it isn't programed for) I had it working again, through the command line. So back out I went. And it worked ok, until I tried to take multiple pictures through one command. At random points it would just fail. I think it may have to do with the issue brought up by mypuppynow near the end of the thread here. I have not figured how to get around this.
