ToupTek G3M178M Guide camera periodically, stops in the middle of a imaging run

[Robert Anderson]

I've been using this same guide camera with PHD2, (version 2.614), in NINA 3.2 connected my Eagle 6 computer for the last 6 months, (recently did upgrade NINA and PHD2). Recently, the camera has been stopping in the middle of a subframe capture and I end up Stopping it and restarting the Looping process, then starting the guiding process which then works fine for some period of time.

Just a note, this is a planetary camera with excellent pixel count and size and sits on a 50mm guide scope for the guiding process. It's a bit more expensive than the typical ZWO camera but has been worth it. 

Wondering if anyone else has seen this type of problem and if so, what perchance was the resolution?

Thanks in advance.

One other thing to check right away, something the logs might not tell us:  are you running with the latest version of the ToupTek camera drivers?  ToupTek makes lots of changes to their interface software and the latest release of PHD2 reflects those changes.
