Preview and loop buttons work just fine. You brought something to my attention. The only time this problem happened is when it was doing a scheduled auto-focus on it's own! I guess I can turn on EKOS focus module logs and CCD logs?

I have seen exactly the same issue with the scheduled auto-focus. I have switched that off and make sure to not run jobs longer than an hour so I can trigger an auto-focus myself.

EDIT: See this thread:

I don't run auto-scheduled focus runs...can't help there. Others can weigh in. Logs will help if there is a bug to be chased....

I just did a simulation scheduled auto-focus routine and it happened! Now, we're on the right path. I turned on file verbose logging for Focus Module and CCD but no log files were saved. What am I missing here?

That seems ok...should work. In any case, to make a minimal log, you might want to stop/restart kstars/ekos and re-run the example so you'll only have the issue in the log...

Thanks. Yeah I just can't get it to save any logs. I restarted ekos/kstars and rebooted the pi. Still can't get it to save any logs.

THANKS! Sorry I just saw your "EDIT". So this sure sounds like the problem I'm having. Jasem says the problem is fixed in "GIT". What does that mean? Is that the nightly builds?

The logs are in the .local/share/kstars/logs directory which isn't visible by default in file explorer. From a command line you should be able to access them. Or press the Open Log Dir button

GIT is the source code repository from which the nightly builds get created.I already tested with the nightly builds and the bug is still there.

Thanks. Well I'm glad I'm not missing anything. That's exactly where I thought the logs should be but they aren't there. I tried it on my Mac and the logs get saved there but the simulator CCD doesn't show any stars so I can't reproduce the hang-up.

I get the following message no matter where I slew the simulator....

"Got no stars, is gsc installed with appropriate environment variables set ??"

GSC is an additional package containing the Guide Star Catalog with stars down to magnitude 12 or even a bit fainter. You need to install that to be able to "take pictures" with the camera simulators.
