Synscan NEQ6 Pro Troubles

Hi all,

For the 2nd night in a row, my synscan (v3.36) controller has been experiencing a problem - I am using the controller to do the astro shots so I set up the exposures:

10 minutes each shot, 30 images in total with a 1 minute break between them. Now, it'll take the first shot perfect - then normally it has the countdown timer for 1 minute until it reaches 0 then move onto the next shot. Both last night and tonight, after the first shot was taken, the countdown timer that was supposed to be 1 minute was counting in SYMBOLS! eg: "released: *:59" - the "minute" could keep changing to a new symbol when the seconds reached 0... I didn't realise it was playing up again tonight and wasted over an hour of astro (came out and it said "released: **:45"). I packed the mount up in frustration. If I go back into the configuration and just confirm the settings (don't even have to change anything) then it works perfect again! It seems like a memory leak with 3.36 possibly? Has anyone else experienced this bizzare behaviour?

Cheers, Mike
