ASCOM freezes when centering (occaisonally)


NightBikes

Question

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!!
