Have you reported those crashes to SB and explained how to reproduce them?
The build number is 7.14.10.4943
Ccdsoft is 5.00.210
I haven't reported it to SB but did ask on the temma driver website. they were not helpful
It comes up with an error
"failed to unmarshall dispatch pointer Temma handbox v 6.0.18
Ascom 6.0.6056.1963"
It occurs if the guider is working fast. An example would be if I'm using the AO unit at 5hz and then try and take a time series. The first image will work then the error comes up. Both programmes will hang until I click the error button. Then TSXP will crash and CCDSoft will continue on. If I goude at 2 sec exposures it mostly doesn't crash but will occasionally.
I have tried tonight connecting to the mount with the built in temma driver rather than the ASCOM temma driver. This seemed to solve the problem but the driver is much poorer. It doesn't have a nice park routine making T point data not useable from night to night.
I will post it to SB and see if they are interested in fixing it. They don't seem to keen of assisting ASCOM problems though.
