Crash during simple sequence with Sony A7S ASCOM camera driver
[X] Is the issue reproducible?
[X] Are all prerequisites that are mentioned inside the manual met?
Which Version are you running? 2.0 HF1 RC003
Description
N.I.N.A. crashes while running a sequence, after saving many images. I’m using a Sony A7S camera with this ASCOM driver: https://github.com/dougforpres/ASCOMSonyCameraDriver
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a sequence with >2 steps of 60 images, 60sec. each
- Start the sequence
Expected behaviour
No crash
Actual behaviour
Crash occurs at different times: sometimes in the first step (target), sometimes in the second step.
In the attached logs, there are errors during an earlier slew, but I’m also getting a crash during a sequence that doesn’t include a slew.
I’m also getting crashes after saving a few images while running the Flat Wizard, which makes me wonder if there’s some kind of unhandled situation occurring during imaging with this particular ASCOM camera driver.

repo owner Can you check the eventlog for any .NET runtime errors for that point in time? These will contain more info and the stacktrace.

reporter Thanks, Stefan, but there are no .NET Runtime events logged at the time of the crash. Here’s the Event Viewer with all events around that time:
-
A crash in the ASCOM driver will still look like a crash in NINA.exe as that’s how in-process COM object look. And because of that, a crash in the ASCOM driver will bring the ship (NINA) down with it. Other Sony ASCOM driver users have lately experienced crashes, so I would bring this up with that driver’s developer.

reporter Hey Dale, thanks, that’s exactly what I’m thinking. I bought a ZWO camera last week and no more crashes. Thanks for responding!

Hi,
does anyone know, if the the problem with the Sony ASCOM driver still exists?
I have the Sony A7s and would like to know it before moving to N.I.N.A.
