So it was clear last night and I tried again and had my system running from 9:00pm local until I had another Kstars crash (same details in the crash report) at 2021-09-05T02:26:15. This time I had INDI logging and CCD driver logging enabled. Log attached. So:
- it finishes with a sub, dithers, waits
- starts a new sub at 2021-09-05T02:25:43
- guiding is ongoing and a guide frame is uploaded at 2021-09-05T02:25:46
- then nothing for the next 30secs
- then...

So no real new information. I have the indi server running on a rpi4 under Astroberry, so i poked around a little bit there. Looks like the indiserver.log file in /tmp is the most recent file (I'm guessing the existing file gets overwritten when indiserver is restarted?) so I don't think I have the indiserver.log file from last night.
So I'm thinking I'll try monitoring this log file next time and see if it gives anymore information.
The other thing I'm thinking about is increasing system resources to indilib. I see on the indilib menu there is a buffer size parameter set to 1024mb. I suspect that this would only be relevant to an internal indiserver within Ekos (but I could be wrong) and I suspect I would need to change the indiserver startup on the rpi under Astroberry. If anyone knows how to do this (or has any other views on the above) I would be very grateful to hear about it.
