Hi,
I set up a job to take 240 x 60 secs exposures with my ZWO ASI178MC, with a 3 sec pause between each. Although I was testing guiding at the start of the session, all of this sequence was unguided.
After around 40- 50 exposures mount tracking switched off with no intervention. This happened several times. I was monitoring progress via VNC, .so I could see the lights suddenly had long star trails and tracking was "off".The job kept running.
Each time I re-started by pausing the exposure job; switching tracking on again, using "align-load and slew" against an earlier exposure and then re-staring the exposure job. On one occasion I completely shut down Indi and restarted, but the problem persisted. Eventually I got all my exposures but I had to constantly monitor the job and re ready to re-start.
My mount is an EQ5_pro controlled by EQMod.
Logs attached
I am running Kstars V3 build 2018-10-13T19:26:36Z
Any idea what is happening.
Thanks
Max
