Hello
In one of our installations we started to have random ACP Scheduler crashes. The engine logs says:
2019-10-06 22:58:08.6: No pending plans that can be started now.
2019-10-06 22:58:08.6: Dispatcher cycle time: 0.0 sec.

2019-10-06 22:58:25.8: Unable to cast COM object of type 'ACP.UtilClass' to interface type 'ACP._Util'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{773C2BAA-487D-43C5-A5D7-E543B7D61DCC}' failed due to the following error: The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA).

2019-10-06 22:58:39.2: Running
2019-10-06 22:58:39.7: ACPSequencer: transient error getting DispatcherEnabled.
Note that we have no dome or roof connected or configured !
I read this RPC server error might due to issues with USB devices, but from the log is very difficult to debut - All devices are working OK.
The config is: The Sky X with Paramount, Maxim DL with FLI camera and filter wheel, FocusMax with Lakeside. AutoFocus enabled and working fine.
This has happened over the last 3 days and nothing else has changed. It happens either shortly after startup, or after taking a few images (e.g. after one hour of startup). Please see attached a few logs.
Thank you
