ASCOM exception error if sequence is ends

Hello,

I am receiving almost every time an ASCOM exception error when my sequence is ending . I copied the part of the log
where the message can be seen. Anyone could guess what may go’s wrong ?

For me it looks like the mount is disconnecting from SGP - which is correct, but short time later a function want access to the mount, which throws an error, but I am no expert in reading the log.

What seems to have happened is that the Telescope has been disconnected in the main thread and then the CP Update Thread tries to read a property. It fails because the telescope has been disconnected.

@Chris Yes it seems the CP thread didn’t notice that the main thread had already disconnected.

Since I cant post anything in the “Bug” section, not sure how to deal with that .
