Again, I am running the stable release using an Intel machine, ubuntu 20.04.
Have problems with both imaging and guide camera, no problem with ZWO filter wheel.

Perhaps relevant to the thoughts about it being driver readiness/timing releated.
I have always run a local setup with Ekos and drivers on the same machine with
Ekos auto starting the drivers. However since updating to the recent release
the only way I found to coax the Astrophysics Experimental driver through its
initialization was to use indiserver to start the drivers. Then use Ekos remote
to the same machine without auto start. That allows the connect and cold start
buttons to be functional for the mount.

So it finally dawned on me to revert back to the original method of startup and have
Ekos start and connect to the drivers. Now both cameras connect and operate okay.
I have only gone back and forth two or three times but the results seem consistent.
No longer have cameras failing to connect, or connecting but taking 2 minutes to fill
in the indi panel controls. Also can image without it looping and restarting the image
attempt several times.

In case it is of use to anyone, local vs distributed startup playing a role?

For the moment for me it is camera or mount, pick one. I think next will try
stringing a USB2 cable to the mount instead of ethernet see if that changes the
timing.
