Hello,

Up to yesterday, I ran my Zwo2600mm + EFW + Zwo174mini with KStars 3.6.7 on Stellarmate Plus. The profile includes both cameras as "camera 1" and "camera 2" respectively.

Then I updated to KStars 3.6.8. When I turn on the Stellarmate, the fan of the Zwo2600mm turns on, as it should be.

I had to change the profile, since "camera 1" and "camera 2" are no longer available, only "Zwo CCD" is proposed. When I launch the it, the fan stops (which is normal, since I stop the cooling at the end of each imaging session). All my equipment is recognized.

But... if I switch on the cooling, the fan does not turn on. The cooling power raises and the temperature decreases, but the fan does not turn on. As a result, the cooling performance is much poorer. I thought that it was not possible to enable cooling without turning on the fan.

Everything is fine with Asistudio, so it is not an hardware problem. Seems to be a "feature" of 3.6.8. What is happening ? How to correct this ?

Thanks,
Philippe
