I just recently located the hardware issue on my system and it appears that using a webcam for guiding on Linux was my main issue, I reverted back to Windows and APT to resolve and now returned to obtain great results.
I did have a Kstars crash once but on this occasion PHD2 did not crash, so my upgrade to an ASI 120MM for guiding did resolve the PHD2 crash. The upgrade worked so well, I now have completely reversed my use on webcam for guiding.
The main advantage of going to Indi was that it was the only one that had drivers for the TIC 825 stepper controller that allowed me wonderful autofocus capability at a much reduced cost.
After the first crash I managed a good image of the Tarantula nebula with my cheap filter giving me great star but questionable colour balance.
I hope to post more on Astroberry in the future.
