1. Can we just capture one image each time the script runs?

The capture script has some parameters: --interval, which allows setting the time between frames (default is 10 seconds) and --duration, which is the time that the script will continue to capture frames (default is 60 seconds.) I'm not in a position to try it myself at the moment, but I would think that if you set a duration that is less than or equal to the interval, the script will exit after taking one frame. I would start by adding --interval 1 --duration 1 to your command line.

OK, got there in the end. Seems python 3.9 is required, I installed as follows:

• apt install software-properties-common
• add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa -y
• apt install python3.9
• apt install python3.9-distutils
• curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
• python3.9 get-pip.py
• pip3.9 install astral

I have some other queries:

1. Can we just capture one image each time the script runs?
2. Is my script above correct for using astral? Appears not to be working for me. Sunset was 30 minutes ago, images still being captures however! - edit, this is actually dawn/dusk, not sunrise/sunset as described in the readme, so working OK here

Much appreciated, will test and report back
