Repeated pulse guide commands sent when after camera stopped giving images.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. ASCOM guiding (Celestron AVX mount)
2. ZWO ASI120MM guide camera

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Guided OK for about an hour then no new images taken by camera. The last pulse 
guide command kept repeating, this was a declination move, the result was 
vertical trailed wiggly stars (wiggles due to PE).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v2.3.0 on Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.
This was using the native ZWO driver. PHD2 log shows guiding for the first hour 
then nothing until shutdown message.
This may be two issues, why did the camera stop giving images and why did the 
pulse guide commands keep repeating?

I didn't have debug logging turned on only guiding logging. I've attached that 
but I don't think it will be much use.

There is really nothing we can do without the debug log. It is advisable to 
leave debug logging turned on all the time. It is enabled by default, and 
really should not be turned off, since it leaves us without any means of 
diagnosing problems like this.

Please try to see if you can reproduce the problem with debug logging enabled, 
and attach the log.

Thanks,
Andy

By the way, ZWO has released a new camera SDK which we are now including with 
the latest builds of PHD2 - http://openphdguiding.org/snapshots.html
You should probably update to the latest version since the native ZWO camera 
code in phd2 has changed significantly to use the new SDK, and the issue may no 
longer be present in the new SDK.
