I tried loading your .stx file into my personal copy of SkyTools and it failed. But when I loaded it with the debugger running in my development copy it worked fine. Sometimes the debugger can mask some kinds of faults. I'm still looking into that, but it may be a clue.
Anyhow, I looked over your settings and all seems good. I just have one question: there is on one available sub exposure time (60 sec). Is that they way it was when it failed, or did you change that to get it to work? If it failed with different allowed exposure time settings in the Imaging System setup, what were they?
Yes, sometimes there is an exposure time of 60 and sometimes it is zero when the setting is for Auto exposures. I cannot explain the difference. I thought maybe I'd see subs of 300s with Auto exposures because ST4i doesn't know that I am not guiding and I am not permanently mounted. So far I have seen either 60s or nothing, and zero just seems wrong.
