Hi Paul,
The only thing I can recall is that the time before last (i.e., the session before the one for which I posted the log), at the end of my imaging session, the ASCOM driver seemed to have trouble connecting to Gemini; it ultimately did end up connecting, and during the next session, it connected up just fine, but gave the errors noted in the log. I don't remember restarting Gemini. I should mention though, that for all the errors, the pulse guiding seemed to work just fine, the mount seemed to be responding to? PHD2 guide commands, so it didn't seem to me that the connection was lost for an extended period of time.?
Tonight I will reinstall the ASCOM driver and do a dry run and let you know how it goes. I'll also use a new ethernet cable as Brian suggested.
