Well, since I use KStars as well, I have a natural motivation to fix bugs :-)

Hi
New build. Now, on guiding failure, guiding restarts but capture doesn't.
Log attached.
Thanks

Hm, another case where it slips. Do you have "Abort Autoguide on failure" set in the guiding options?

Yes. I have abort autoguide on failure checked.
Is that correct?
Cheers

Depends, I'm not so familiar with this option. I tested both variants with this option checked and unchecked. In both cases guiding and capturing is restarted. But obviously in your case it doesn't.

Could you give it a try with the option unchecked? In my setup, capturing resumes and in parallel guiding restarts. The difference in my setup is, that with the option checked, KStars waits with restarting the capturing until guiding is running while without the option set, it does both in parallel.

Option checked: guiding restarts, capture does not
Option unchecked: capture continues, guiding does not.
Log attached.

That's really strange! I think I have the same setup as yours, but mine behaves as expected, yours definitely not...

I have (very ordinary) Ubuntu 18.04 with all the updates. Would that make a difference perhaps?
Is there any difference between your and my logs when guiding or capture fails?
TIA

OK. A bit more testing.
'abort autoguide on failure' unchecked

Now, both guiding and capture are resumed BUT not if the guiding fails during a dither.
Is there any chance of getting both guiding and capture restarted if guiding fails during the dither and during the exposure?
TIA,
Steve

Good news, I could reproduce it.

In the capture sequence, do you have set a delay? If I set a delay and have the "Abort Autoguide on failure" option set, then guiding starts, but capturing not. Instead, it shows "Waiting..." on the Capture tab.
