StellarMate new user
Loaded StellaMate OS on a Raspberry Pi 5 and plugged USB cables into the ports. Have used app on ipad and Ekos and browser from Windows desktop.
I have:
Skywatcher EQ8 with EQMOD and USB cable
ASI183 mm cooled
Rigel N-step focus controller
ZWO 8 position filter wheel
ASI178 guide scope
Everything appears to be connected and I can slew the mount, change filters and move the focuser.
The camera appears to be connected, but when I try to capture a simple sequence, the sequence always fails with an "Aborted" message.
The INDI page is no help. It only says: [ERROR] Exposure failed after three tries.
I tried enabling debugging but it immediately disables itself leaving [INFO} enabled and disabled messages.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi Bob,
first of all, the logging level is controlled by KStars/Ekos. Please use the logging button on the Manager tab, set the logging level to verbose and file based.

Then please post the log file here for further assistance.

Cheers

There was an issue with ASI that was fixed just last week. Did you update the OS to the latest available updates?

Thanks - some little progress.
I updated stellarmate and managed to capture a few images from the main and guide cameras,. Then they mysteriously stopped working with aborts
I tried again tonight with zero success. The log is attached.

I found my ASI cams sometimes "disappear" from the list in "lsusb". Just like they had never been connected.
When I get "exposure failed" messages, the first thing I do is check lsusb and 99% of the time both ASI cams have mysteriously disappeared from the list. Remarkably, they both show up again after a reboot even though nothing has changed (cables included).

Thanks for the reply.
Same story again tonight. The main and guide worked for a short while and then just stopped for no apparent reason.
looks like cameras are still there.
Bob
