I’ve started having problems with my ZWO ASI1600MC-Pro with image downloads. At times SGP will get “stuck” trying to download an image and eventually gives an error. I’ve tried various values for USB limit but nothing seems to fix it.
My log from the last imaging session is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4hu7tqq2jw3hq7f/sg_logfile_20201111185420.log?dl=0
The download hangs for much longer than the set exposure time. Sometimes the image is recovered, sometimes not.
Here is a segment from the log where the error occurred:

I’m trying to figure out if my camera is failing or there is a problem with the Ascom interface.
I am using Ascom 6.4 on a Windows 10 system. The version of SGP is 3.2.0.603.
Thanks
