Hi All,
Lately I have had problems when trying to connect to a new instance of AS via
Ascom. The calling app, eg. ACP hangs up.
I traced the problem to 2x Astrooptik processes running.
It seems that the process does not always shut down when AS exits.
When I start up AS again, there are two instances of the process running. Any
idea why this is happening?

Hi, Dale,

Occasionally, I have the same effect. Sometimes, it happens when I do something wrong like disconnecting the USB cable to the mount before trying to shut-down Autoslew, but I also observed it when I saw no obvious reason.

My workaround is to kill the AstroOptikServer.exe with the task-manager when it happens. I don't know how to fix the root cause.


Best regards,

Bernd

That is what I also do. But because it means shutting down AS it can be a problem for remote observatories and manual home find (which I tend to use)
