Crash due to unhandled exception during simple sequence capture

[John Princen]

I can’t seem to get through very long sequences before I get a crash. The setup is a windows 10 PC (windows 10 Pro), with sony a6400 through ASCOM, and Star adventurer GTi through GSS (or synscan). I am running version 2.1.0.9001 of NINA.

Happy to follow up with more testing, but not sure what to do next.

Here is the information from the event viewer:

This issue is most likely a problem of the Sony ASCOM driver. There have been similar reports in the past and they all had this driver as the root cause and needs to be fixed in the driver.

[John Princen]

Thanks. I found the issues you mentioned, and I will see if I can figure out the root cause in the driver.

[John Princen]

I found the root cause in the Sony camera driver. The developer has made a new release (1.0.0.40) which can be found here: https://github.com/dougforpres/ASCOMSonyCameraDriver/wiki/Installation.

Still waiting for clear nights here in California, but I did some testing indoors and this new version seems stable with NINA - Yay!

[John Princen]

Found to be crash in driver. New driver release fixes the issue (1.0.0.40) found here: https://github.com/dougforpres/ASCOMSonyCameraDriver/wiki/Installation
