It happens intermittently, except for tonight where it was happening constantly and after approx 2hours I gave up using the observatory with nothing captured.
<strong>My setup</strong>
I'm using an ASI 120mm for guiding, plugged directly into a USB2 port on the PC.
The PC is running both Indi server and Kstars. I start the indi server locally by clicking the start indi button in EKOS.
So everything is running on the same machine....
<strong>The Problem</strong>
Once I start using the ASI camera, It works fine for a duration, usually enough to get calibration done and start guiding but then everything dies. Kstars just disappears. No warning or alerts from KDE. Sometimes it dies during calibration too....
INDI server is still running because when I restart kstars and click start indi it asks if I want to kill the already running instance, I click yes and try all over again..... Same result about 10 times tonight.
I'm 99% sure its the ASI camera. I've tried all the other EKOS modules tonight, align, focus, capture and they never cause a crash. However once I start using the guide module and interacting with the ASI camera I have this problem...
I'm looking for help to debug this so I can get some more information as to the cause.
Anyone have any ideas? Nothing appearing in the indi logs. Kstars just vanishes. Are there any other logs I could check?
Maybe I should start indi-server from the command line and then start kstars? Would that help?
Any help would be great.
Thanks!!
Derek
