Output of gphoto2 --capture-image:

An image is captured; however, the problem is there is no bulb control.
This makes it exceedingly difficult to use for long exposure
astrophotography. For example, running the command gphoto2 --set-config
bulb=1 --wait-event=61s --set-config capturetarget=1  results in errors
being thrown.

Thanks in advance.
