It seems the problem has not gone away after last nights session.

So i have Kubuntu 15.10 and started a test run last week with the lenscap on. I made 12 testshots and everything seemed stable,
Last night however, I started a session with all features enabled.

- Guiding with my Lodestar (binning 2x2).
- Imaging 300s subs with my Canon 1000D
- NEQ6 mount

Now the thing I noticed right before it crashes was that the file was saved on the disk, but not shown in the FITS viewer. The imaging job states 'aborted'. Afterwards, if you want to take new subs or previews it still isn't shown in the FITS viewer. The FITS viewer icon (the black galaxy) isn't greyed out, but if I click it to view the image, it turns to greyed out and no photo is to be seen. The FITS viewer can't be started.

Now i have other problems which could be related to this:

- Sometimes the configuration of the camera isn't properly loaded. The option save to memory card magicly enables giving a big amp glow in the images. Simply disconnect en connect the camera in Indi and clicking 'save to InternalRam' solved this, but its weird that this option enables itself while there is no memorycard in the slot and the option is not selected. I have to say that the camera itself cannot remember settings anymore (something to do with the internal battery), so I rely on the loaded config entirely.
- Downloading images takes 10 seconds easily. Don't know if this is normal. They are 10 MP images.
- I have no powered USB hub. Only a USB extender and 3 devices connected: Lodestar, Canon 1000D and my EQdir to NEQ6.

To mitigate past problems i have a rocksolid 23 amp 12v powerfeed in my observatory now. I also have a modified Canon 60D on the way.

If you need more info I can provide it a.s.a.p.
