After my tests last night.
When capturing an image with my DSLR, the system has to slow down due to accessing the SD card of Raspberry Pi4.
This leads to a loss of the guide star and EKOS reset the guiding. I have restored my SD CARD with my old version of 15 days ago (Ubuntu 19.04 and Kstars v3.4.1)
I have the same problem, the star is lost about 1 second but Ekos did not reset the guiding. Ekos allways run the guiding and this does not turn off dithering on other captures.
In version 3.4.5, this causes reset the guiding
Sometimes on version 3.4.5, when the guide star is lost, the DSLR captures with short exposures although the ZWO camera is dedicated to guiding
This usually causes the program to crash
I ordered a SANDISK extreme PRO fast SD card a few days ago, originally it was to speed up my RAW recording times. Hope this will solve my problem as well

Thank you very much to everybody for your help.
This is an excellent way. I 'll go to plug my camera directely on my raspberry pi4 without trough the USB hub.
I will look at the full frame settings also

Hi,
Yesterday evening it was clear. I continued my tests.
PHD2 very often displays star lost mas star mass has changed. It lasts 1 second and it starts again
I see my camera quickly displays a wrong image (noise?)
Ekos resets guidance each time and it blocks the capture
I failed to guide with the internal tool. In automatic he never found a star. With manual choice of the star it could not be done either
"...and you have set the option to reset calibration after a slew (in Guide->Options)?"
Yes this option is enabled by default. I go try this night without
"Are you using multi-sep guiding? "
Yes, I try but the result is the same
I have doubts about my camera

My camera work normaly. The guiding is perfect.
But every capture with my Canon DSLR, Ekos Guide Module indicate star lost and initialized the guiding. On PHD2, I don't see the same

Hello,
I am using PHD2 for the guiding. My camera is an ASI ZWO 120 on a guide scope.
My EKOS profile is correctly set on PHD2 and the guide value is empty because managed by PHD2.
For the guiding control of the mount I use the ST4 port on the camera.
My problem is that each capture, the EKOS guide module indicates that the star is lost and resets guiding, although is not visible at PHD2, everything is fine.
I set the dithering value at 4 pixel but after 3 captures, the dithering is not fonctionnal. I tried without dithering and it's the same.
I have not yet tried with the internal guidance module
Any ideas ? INDI, PHD2 or camera driver?
Thanks for your help!

Hi
I accelerated the update of my Pi 4 from ubuntu version 19.04 to version 20.04,
because on the ppa mutlaqja there are no more kstars versions for 19.04 and INDI is still version 1.8.3.
At the beginning i just wanted to update kstars to version 3.4.3 on Ubuntu 19.04.
WIth Ubuntu 20.04, I got INDI in version 1.8.6 but on the other hand, why are we getting kstars 3.5.0 which is the beta version if I understood ?
Can someone explain to me the kstars / indi versioning system?
Why the kstars / indi version is different depending on ubuntu version

because on the ppa mutlaqja there are no more kstars versions for ubuntu 19.04 and INDI is still in version 1.8.3.
First, I just wanted to update kstars to version 3.4.3.
With ubuntu 20.04, I have recovered INDI in version 1.8.6
On the other hand, why do we get kstars 3.5.0 which is the beta version if I understood ?
