Sorry to be spamming the thread, I have been trying to replicate the behaviour on my desktop using simulated gear in PHD2 and APT. I think increasing the dithering stability distance will help, but windy nights might be a bust and timeout after dithers as the guide star will be moving around a lot and even at the max stability distance may not "Finish" I should abandon nights like that anyway but I really only get to test a coupe of nights a week.
I can't replicate the other issue I have seen where imaging stops when the guider looses the star, if I force that in the simulated modes, APT reports a dither error and continues.
I am using a pretty underpowered box to test this at the moment, Windows 10 on an Intel Nuc Celeron 2820 with I think 8 gig of RAM. Is there any chance lack of machine resources is causing me the issues? I could test by taking my desktop machine out and using that, still modest as far as modern machines go but a lot better than the Nuc.
