2 clear nights and started imaging. All going well and then the autoguider starting getting time out and device not detected messages.
Checked the cable again and it was fine. Swapped out the autoguider with a new one I have and it worked fine.
Later it seemed the problem was too large a shift in dithering. I backed it off and the guiding was stable.
Just another thing to get right to make the system stable. I got about 4 -5 hours of images from each night.
