Hi Folks,
I have started running EKOS/KStars on my windows machine and connecting to my gear through INDI server running a Linux PC. I have noticed that during my image sequences, dithering is continually failing to execute. I am saving my images remotely to my Linux box as it takes too long to download. I am using dithering in RA only and get the same result whether I use one pulse dither or not. I forgot to enable the Guide logging last night but this is the output from the logger. I will get the guide logging tonight but has anyone else experienced this issue using PHD2 over INDI server?
