John,

This may not be worth looking at but I got the attached exception doing a darks only run (it's snowing so might as well update the darks library). This was with 3.30-8 but it happens as well with 3.30-9. If you connect just the camera (MaximDl in this case) for a darks only run, then selecting the run session page causes the exception. Workaround is to connect a telescope as well (in this case, TheSky6).

While it might seem odd to use CCDAP this way, I find it to be really convienent as I setup and kick off the run before I go to work (since it gets dark 3 or 4 hrs before I get home).

Thanks for the report, Paul. It will be fixed in the next maintenance release. In the meantime, you can workaround this by unchecking "start relative to sunset" on the options page. You will have to connect to a telescope control program to do this.

Thanx
