Two nights in a row now my QSI620 has inexplicatively disconnected from its NINA profile - after about 4 hours of operation. While the camera is then still recognized by the ASCOM driver, I cannot get it to reattach - even after powering down the camera and restarting it. Initially, the only way to get it to reload was to turn off my Eagle and then restart everything in sequence. Last night I believe that I was able to get NINA to recognize it (without shutting down the computer) by unplugging the USB wire first, turning off and then restarting the camera, and then plugging back in the USB cable.
Two problems - 1) getting the camera to reattach - and perhaps of greater concern would be 2) why the camera disconnects in the first place.
I have been dealing with a problematic Eagle5S - which posts that it is running on anything from 10.5 to 12.4 volts - this fluctuates constantly. I am using the supplied PrimaLuce power source. I am wondering if the low voltage might negatively impact the USB connections between the camera and the computer.? The Eagle seems to successfully continue to run NINA, PHD2, SKYX - etc.
Before I start troubleshooting down the wrong rabbit hole, is there any history behind these cameras shutting down for some identifiable reason - or a specific issue?
Thanks in advance - bob
