ASIAIR Pro Disconnecting

RJackBender

After successfully taking photos for 15+ months, I have encountered problems the last two nights. My equipment is ASIAIR Pro, RedCat 51, 533MC Pro main camera, 32/120MM guide scope, ASI120MM mini guide camera, EQ6-R Pro mount. Pre-photo goes smooth, i.e., PA, focusing, GOTO, etc. After taking 2 or 3 images, subsequent images do not stack and I receive this error message: "Auto reconnecting. Disconnected. Please reconnect." However, WIFI shows I am still connected to the ASIAIR. My main camera shows, "None," and drop-down menus only shows, "None," but my guide camera still shows. I have tried turning everything off-then-on, reconnecting, changing power supplies/cords, but still receive the Auto reconnecting, Disconnected error after 2 or 3 photos - quite frustrating. Any thoughts/ideas will be appreciated.

Thank you

RJackBender Sounds like a power issues, as only the guide camera which does not need an extra power connection kept the connection.
How did you power the devices? use an extra 12V power to connect the camera and mount to see if any difference.
Or refer to this guide to restore the OS to try.

Thank you for answering quickly. I have a separate power source for the mount, everything else through the AA Pro, using a 12-volt battery for the latter. I do not use an electronic focus or filter wheel. I will try powering the camera with its own source. If not successful I will restore the OS.

Last night I set a separate power source for the main camera and it worked much better. Only disconnected three times and reconnected automatically twice. However, Tonight's Best is off, e.g., showing the Sun and several planets up when they are not. All targets seem off by several hours even though I've verified my Lat/Long and time in the AA Pro. Finally, the target overlay function is extremely sensitive, twirling and rotating with the slightest touch, thus making it near impossible to use.

Thoughts?
