Mac Calibration issue with 3.5.2

[Jean-Claude JESIOR]

Hi,
It might be INDI the culprit, but then why the previous KStars versions are working ?
Is INDI embedded in each KStars version ?
I thought it would be interesting to use PHD2 instead of the internal proc in the calibration + guiding of KStars 352.
I will try this ASAP.

Have a nice day

INDI hadn't occurred to me because I was thinking that it was related to steps being taken in a routine in KStars during guider calibration, so I was thinking it had to be somewhere in that code.  But yes, it could certainly be something in INDI as well.  The power of multiple minds. . .
