I find that the stable version (3.5.4 stable) crashes at random maybe once or twice a week on ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS (amd64).

Just BAM, no more kstars. The mount continues to track but nobody's home. Wake up in the morning, park the mount, and hope for another clear night sometime soonish.

I'm taking a few months off of imaging and hope things are more stable in 2022.
