Random stops of allsky

[RomainLucchesi]

Hello,

I have been using this wonderful program for the past 3 years with no problem at all.
I have a Raspberry Pi 3b+ and a Datyson T7 camera, they are installed in my little observatory and allow me to monitor the sky to do some observations remotely with my telescope.
In June I bought a new microSD card to make a clean install of Raspbian and to install the latest version of allsky.
The installation and the configuration went well, but now unfortunately I have some random stops of the program at any moment.

The program stays up for 2, 3 or 4 days maximum, before to crash or to stop, I don't really know.
Sometimes the last image uploaded to my website is on the morning, sometimes in the middle of the night or afternoon, or sometimes I have the "Allsky software is not running" image.
Since I don't check everyday, I often miss several nights before to manually restart the program.

It stopped again last night at 2am, I attach the /var/log/allsky.log file
We can see lot of :
"*** WARNING: time to take image (30524517) differs from requested exposure time (14926918) by 15597599, threshold=7463459"
I don't think it's linked to my problem, but do you know what is it exactly ?

At the end of the file we can see several errors getting the image, before the program is stopped and the NotRunning image is uploaded to the website.
Is there a way to understand what is producing that ?

Thanks a lot for your advises :)

The problem is at the end of the log, 5 timeout errors have been received so the software has shut down.

I have never heard of that camera but checkout the wiki page on ASI timeouts https://github.com/thomasjacquin/allsky/wiki/Troubleshoot-ASI_ERROR_TIMEOUTs and see if that helps
