Dark library keeps disappearing

[Ed M]

This has happened several times.  The previous episode was about last week.  I had a good dark library built for PHD2 and was using it without a problem.  Then one day it started up and told me it did not have a dark library!  Where did it go?

So I created a new library last week using the standard process.  No errors.  No problems.  And I was using it without a problem - until tonight.  I just started up PHD2 and it tells me it doesn't have a dark library!  Where does it keep disappearing to?  

How can I keep my dark library from disappearing like this?  Thanks!

Your dark library isn't getting "lost".  The typical explanation is that at some point, you connected PHD2 to the wrong camera.  Are you using a QHY camera for both imaging and guiding?  We can't help you though if you don't send us both the guide and debug log files from the session where you last saw this error message.

Sounds good.  I will get the docs and post them.

Just to avoid a lot of wasted time and frustration - you need to use the built-in 'Upload Logs' feature in PHD2, the one that is described in the link I sent you.  You can't "post" those files as attachments because the files are large.
