Images stopping a various times through the night

[mshetzer]

All was going great, and is my favorite tool for monitoring the astro sessions. Last night I locked up twice and stopped producing images.

Here is some of the log. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Matt.

The camera exposure control going into ALERT status just means it is going into an error state.

Common causes for this are:

• A bad cable or connection. You may try to reseat the cable or replace it entirely. Maybe try a USB2 port instead of USB3.
• Poor or insufficient power.

Thank you. I will try moving the port.
