This sounds like a problem that also exists in SerialEM and that is related to the rotation of Digital Micrograph logs. This is the solution that Craig Yoshioka posted in 2017:<br>
<br>
"The midnight issue is caused by the DM log directory being too full. If you empty it the problem should go away. I suspect DM is trying to rotate and compress the logs at midnight and if it takes too long and there is an ongoing exposure it breaks."<br>
<br>
In SerialEM, there is even a WaitForMidnight command to cover this ...<br>
<br>
Hope that helps,<br>
