Hi,

I'm really hoping that someone can help out on this. I've continued to try to get this camera working but so far no luck,

Just to give a more detailed report - I have two Altair cameras a 130M guide camera and a 183M Fan cooled main camera. I'm running KStars 3.5.4 with INDI 1.9.1 on Ubuntu 20.04. Both cameras have been working flawlessly until recently. The 130M guide camera still works fine but EKOS appears not to be to execute a successful capture anymore with the with 183M. Both cameras work fine on the same system with the AltairCapture software so it is not a hardware issue. I attach a full log with EKOS INDI and Capture as well as CCD driver logging set to verbose. I also attach a screenshot of the EKOS camera tab that show it apparently executing a 183M exposure and waiting for the image. In this test session I connect just the two cameras, no other equipment. I set up a 1-sec exposure in the queue at standard setting for each camera, 130 first then 183M. On running the queue for the 130M exposure it succeeds first time. But on running the queue for the 183M exposure an image fails to materialise despite EKOS automatically restarting the exposure attempt many hundreds of times. Eventually EKOS disconnects from the INDI server and KStars closes itself down.

Would be interested to know what might be the cause, or if anyone else has experienced a similar issue recently. Also happy to run any further specific tests that might help pin down a cause. Any help appreciated.
