Hi,


Equipment: NEQ6pro mount via Green Swamp Server, guide camera asi290mm-mini

The issue is, everything will be running just fine, and in the middle of a guiding run, the guide pulses just stop with no error in the main PHD2 screen.  Even though corrections are needed no pulses are sent and I can see the RA drift just like guiding is shut off.

In the debug I caught exactly where this is happening

It is this Error thrown from myframe_events.cpp.   I have not been able to find any information on this.  The only way I found to get it guiding again is to close both phd2 and green swamp server, restart them, and start guiding again.  Not sure if it is a mount issue, green swamp server issue, or phd2 issue.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Frank
