First of all, ZWO's ASI AIR do not support its own ASI120 cameras. Here's to show how it can be done using free and open source astroberry instead from kStars > tools> Ekos It's better to do capture, guiding etc in Ekos.  These steps in blue are just for reference, that the capturing can be done under INDI settings too.    These are INDI settings, Controls tab. Use the Main Control tab to take a shot INDI: INDI Controls and Ekos. These displayed values are duplicates   INDI control: you can control camera's gain and offset here too. ( Instead of in Ekos).

In astroberry, you can also use FireCapture   exposure settings in of differ...
