Join the club... I upgraded to the most recent stuff tonight (11/12/2022 - using Stellarmate OS) and I have had NOTHING but issues with my EQ6-R Pro.
In fact, it's so bad I'm moving my captures onto my external storage and am going to go back to the original version that I had, as I KNOW that works with my setup... It's rather frustrating as it appears that regular licensed StellarMate OS users are actually the "BETA" testers for it, even when not using the "cutting edge" BETA stuff.
I am SO tempted to dump these RPi4's off on someone else and simply invest in two ZWO ASI Airs. At least THEY seem to work reliably and don't keep taking a crap all over themselves with every update. I lost over 5 hours of capture time tonight dorking around with this stuff. And for what I've spent on these RPi's I could have easily purchased the ASI Airs. The only reason I didn't was I liked the idea of being able to use other cameras down the line.
Hell, I've even thought about going to a Intel NUC, but I figure I'd have the same issues with it as I do with StellarMate since they both would use the same core software.
And yes, my time is set correctly... and it recognizes that we are in DST here in my EQMOD config screens for the mount.
