Question
NightBikes
I'm using ASCOM Device Hub with the following connected: Explore Scientific EXOS2-gt PMC 8 Mount, Stellarium, BYN, and PHD2. Occasionally, when I click center in BYN on my target, ASCOM locks/freezes up. It only happens when centering. However, I can go multiple imaging sessions without any issue, and have other nights where it repeats several times. My only fix is to force shutdown my computer and restart everything. I think I've copied the relevant log info below. Firewall is turned off. Suggestions on what to check? Thank you!!

You should look at the PMC-8 driver logs for the cause of the error. DeviceHub is reporting a problem to BYE that originated in the PMC-8 driver.
