@JonCarleton I actually have 2 drivers listed for the sv305. One is the SV305 CCD, this one does not connect to the camera and SVBONY SV305, this one connects to the camera. It's strange though as when you hover over the selection its give the same .exe (indi_sv305_ccd) but list different drivers. The sv305 ccd shows driver SV305 CCD and the svbony sv305 shows driver SVBONY SV305. Not to sure if this is a drive conflict from the same .exe. I tried binning at 4x but it still hangs.

@gingerbreadassasin The camera is connected directly to the rpi4 usb3. I tried both ports and the usb 2 ports. Oddly enough I get more exposures with the usb2 ports before it hangs then with the usb3 ports. For testing purposes I removed all other usb devices (onstep mount, Nikon d5300, and thumbdrive) from the pi. The cable supplied with the camera is 6ft. I order 2 more 3 ft. ones to test with. I also tested the camera on my windows desktop with phd2 and ascom, work as it should but couldn't change binning for some reason. I think it may have something to do with the usb power and cable length. I'll test more when the new shorter cables show up to day.
