Thanks - I'll give it a try tonight. I'm also wondering if it might be related to this FITSView bug mentioned by KNRO - indilib.org/forum/ccds-dslrs/9059-fitsvi...3c-kstars-3-5-2.html

Whether it is related to the FITS viewer or not should be easy to test. Simply disable the FITS viewer (in the KStars configuration) and see if that solves the crashes.

I just got my ASI2600MC.
Had 4 successful sessions with INDI running on RPI4 (latest SM stable) and KStars/Ekos on Windows client.
No problems.

Tonight, however, I ran into this very problem.
Running everything on RPI4.
After 2-3 frames it crashes consistently with a "unable to allocate memory for temporary bayer buffer: std::bad_alloc" message

OK. Disabled Auto Debayer and Adaptive Sampling - all seems to be good now. Ufff...
Going to a dark place on Friday with my mobile setup - first time with ASI2600.

Has anyone tested whether 3.5.3 brings back the ability to show debayered images?

Or are we stuck with this on these newer camera’s with larger sensors even though devices like Pi’s have enough extra memory in theory to allow this feature to be used without crashing.

It should work fine, but remember we're still limited by the 32bit OS. I think that we don't see 64bit OS before the next stable release of Debian.

I've been having horrible results with EKOS and my ASI2600MC for over a year. I keep hoping software updates will fix it, but all of my imaging sessions are ruined by the PI crashing. I have un-selected debayering in EKOS FITS setup, and it still crashes. Sometimes after taking one frame, sometimes after taking a few.

Very frustrating... I had a ticket opened about this a while back, and some beta fixes were loaded onto my Stellarmate, but it didn't really help.

I've not had a chance to test mine with the new release and am also a Stellarmate user for both my Pi's. I'd really like to get back to good it is with camera's like my 1600MC.

Please post back here if that's OK if there is some progress being made.

Thanks, Craig

Hi Jasem,

You've tried to help me too a number of times over the past year with the exact same issue with ASI2600MC Pro.  Unfortunately still not working here either, always random crashes still - from the debayer error to Kstars just crashing and restarting after a sub is attempted. It's strange that it all appears so random.  Same now too on this latest version - upgraded from new image of recently downloaded 1.5.9 -> 1.6.0 w/KStars Stable release 2021-9-30  (rpi4 8gb)
I wish I could get this to work for me. Any hints?

I have the exact problem and seen most of the issues described in this topic with my ZWO ASI 2600MM camera. Using a Pi 4 it crashes quite regularly when imaging. Very, very annoying as I have spent a lot of time over the last couple of months and lost a lot of observing time trying to fix this with new cable and power supplies. Crashing on the second exposure is typical but it can happen at other times.
I have just done an update and went out out tonight and only had one crash taking about 30 images with LRGB filters. Clouded out now and this may be just luck so will test further when weather improves.
I notice disabling the fits viewer is a workaround which I will try next time if crashing persists but it is essential to view the image after it has downloaded for monitoring purposes so this can't be a permanent solution.
Is this problem being worked on? I can do some testing if helpful.
