I actually am at work right now so I can't actually set up the gear to do anything. I am pretty sure my issue is just a setting error based on the fact that I have had control of the guider but either changed something or something went south. I think knro's last response may have been the key I needed. I am pretty sure I set PHD2 to use the native QHY5 driver instead of INDI camera. I bet it was conflicting with the INDI conenction in Ekos to the guide camera. Hopefully tonight all will be nirvana. :) I will post a follow up and let you know my findings. Thanks again for all of the help. If this fails tonight, I will set teamviewer and get one of you guys to look over my settings.

Active Indi driver conflicting with PHD2 grabbing control of the USB device is an exact issue I ran into last night I think. Just make sure only one system is using the guider I think, although not sure what *should* work with respect to multiple programs using the same device.

Actually, knro, I'm having trouble getting capture from PHD2 connected via the Indi devices in Ekos after the latest updates. It seems to grab a single frame then stops, but no errors. Ekos by itself and PHD2 by itself is fine. Just FYI if this rings a bell, I can run with PHD2 locally for now.
