I am running 3.6.0 on my MacBook connected to my rig, and 3.6.0 on my iMac in
the house to control it remotely.

I had a problem (again) last night with PHD2 timing out while trying to
download from my ASI120MM guide camera.  After trying multiple times,
restarting INDI, restarting Kstars on the iMac, I went into the INDI camera
settings and discovered that the exposure time was set to a very small value,
even though I'm sure that Kstars and PHD2 both thought it was at 2 seconds.  I
set it to 2 in the INDI camera configuration and tried again, and it worked!

Now I have to moan a little.  I started up my sequence and went to bed, since
it was 2:30 by that point.  Then when I got up and checked at 6:30 I discovered
that it had taken six exposures and crashed hard out of Kstars.  Really
disappointing, since the seeing was first-rate for the first time in weeks, and
my little mount was consistently guiding better than an arc-second as long as
the wind wasn't blowing.  I could really love Kstars if it didn't do these
things to me.
