Hi,

I'm trying to use the Dark Library for my guider camera (ZWO ASI120 mini). But

- On Ekos 3.5.9, if I activate the 'dark' (subtraction) option in the guide tab, then once I make a capture KStars gives a segmentation fault.

- On Ekos 3.6.1 the Dark Library has this 'Optical train' option. If I select my normal train, then the darks are taken for the main camera. If I take it for a dummy train with the guider camera as primary, then I can take darks, but those darks cannot be used on my normal optical train in the Guide tab (it just does not find any valid dark). If I select the dummy train with the guider as primary and guide camera, I can use those darks, but sometimes it crashes Kstars as in Ekos 3.5.9

With all these random segmentation faults that I see lately, I'm starting to wonder if making a 'monolithic' software to control everything is the best approach. Wouldn't it be better to have one thread for the Ekos machinery, rock solid and trying to make it resiliet to errors, and then individual modules running in other threads? If one of those crashes, not the end of the world. If ekos crashes., then the guiding, tracking, etc everything is lost and it just sucks.,
