I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction with a problem I've run into a couple of nights in a row.  Guiding seems to suddenly stop after running successfully for at least a couple of hours.  I'm using KStars/Ekos 3.5.2 and PHD2 (2.6.9 dev 4).  The Ekos log includes the following at the point where I seem to have run into problems:

It looks like the problems start around 1:45:12 with "Client 13: read EOF" (which is about 7 mins after a 1.5s image is requested from the ASI120MM-S) and it doesn't recover after that.  There's a similar entry in the log for the other night where guiding just seemed to stop  If someone can offer some advice as to what might be causing this, I'd appreciate it.

It looks like that PHD2 disconnected from INDI server? anything in the PHD2 logs?

Thanks for getting back to me.  This is what I found in the PHD2 logs...

Previous attempts to dither seemed to take only seconds but this one took over 400 seconds.  Do you have any idea what might cause this?  Thanks!

You need to attach the corresponding PHD2 debug log. If it is too large, either use the upload options on the help menu and post a link or you zip it up to attach to this forum.

I tried using the internal guider in place of PHD2 and ran into similar problems.  Everything ran very smoothly for a while, then guiding seems to have stopped.  It occurred to me that these problems are happening roughly 3 hours in to each session - I now suspect my laptop put itself to sleep, was then woken up by network traffic but didn't recover.  I'll do some more testing - this may well turn out to be user error. 

Thanks so much for your help!
