Thank you jasem yes I did try with the beta channel, and to me with the images I see compared to altair capture the images were still dark and deepsky stacker couldn't register enough stars to stack photos. But I have since moved to astro pixel processor and that works fine. So it was either something I wasn't doing right or ... Well probably I wasn't doing something right . Still very much a beginner and learning.
but as I have you attention. I have just purchased a zwo eaf. And that is playing havoc with my 183c. when click on auto focus it keeps crashing the camera driver. Takes many attempts to get it to auto focus as I have to keep restarting camera driver. I don't have any logs right now because I tried re installing stellarmate and doing updates and forgot to enable logs. I'm imaging right now so as soon as I can I'll upload logs. 
thank you all for helping
