Atik 420m Hanging with AA6

Post by Forum_2015 »

Hi all!

I have aquired AA6 and I have been using it with an Atik 420m and I am getting an odd
problem. Whenever I stop a exposure before it's finished it hangs the ascom driver.
Temperature reading goes nuts and camera stops working and have to restart my PC
and forces a camera power cable disconnection!

I have tried several USB ports and problem persists. Problem is repeable in different computers.
Camera works fine with it's own software.

I am using the latest atik ascom driver. Anybody with this issue?

UPDATE: It seems it does the same with the native ARTEMISHSC driver.

Regards and thank you!

Nuno

Hi,
some cameras don't support stopping an exposure.

Can you stop the exposure with the camera software?

Hi, yes I can stop it with the camera software, no problem.
Today I tried again but waited a few seconds (30s) after hanging, the the camera got back and temperature readings normalized.
Thanks for answering.

Nuno
