All,

So i have had a play with my new QHY294m-pro on kstars/ekos (astroberry rpi4) and have a few issues.

1. When i plug the camera into a usb3 slot, after a random short while either the indi qhy driver crashes (and kstars completely closes) or ekos freezes with weird values shown for the camera temp and cooling (image attached).
2. When i plug the camera into a usb2 slot, the system is more stable however the indi qhy driver still crashes randomly and kstars completely closes. 

Is the indi qhy driver unstable?

Can these driver crashes/issues be due to power load on the rpi4 usb slots (currently have star adv mount, ASI120 guide cam and qhy294m-pro cam plugged into rpi4) and should i iuse a powered usb3 hub?

I'm completely up to date using sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade commands (my post above shows ekos device info).
I can have the qhy camera plugged into a solid 12V AGM battery or mains supply.

Any help to get my system stable would be greatly appreciated.
