Ah! I bet there was some compile flag that controls this feature. Maybe it was set for the Apple silicon builds but not for Intel.
Is the original poster also on Intel?

I have the exact same build on my Mac and I don't see it. What macOS are you running? I have the most recent Sonoma 14.4.1 on an Intel iMac. Here is what the View menu looks like:

As best I can tell, the limits are not stored with the profile. When I make a change, it appears in all profiles. It does seem like it should be per profile, but I guess not.

FWIW: I'm not seeing that problem on the Mac version of KStars/Ekos. I've changed the values several times and it is always remembered next time I start up.

Don't you have a guide camera? You can't guide using the main camera while also using it for imaging.
I have two trains, one specifying the image camera. This is set as the one to use in the CCD tab. I also have a Guide train that specifies the guide camera as the Camera. It also specifies the mount as the "Guide via" device.

The guide device should be set to Mount in the train you use in the Guider panel. If you set it to "--" (i.e. None) , then it won't be guiding. At least that is my understanding.

OK, I just played with this a bit and see two problems (this is on Mac).
1. If you bring up the Set Time panel in KStars and choose "Now", it sets the time in the panel to current time. But the actual chart time is not changed until you click OK. This always results in the chart time being a second or two behind the computer's time.
2. If you put the Mac to sleep (or let it go to sleep), when you wake it up again the chart time has not advanced since it went to sleep. It will keep advancing at 1 second per second, but it will be off by the amount of time sleeping.
Both these problems indicate a fundamental problem in how KStars keeps time. When you click the Now button in the Set Time panel, this should set a "realtime" mode. When in this mode the time should always be obtained from the system clock (or wherever you've specified the time to come from). KStars should not be trying to keep it's own version of time unless you have explicitly changed the it from "realtime".

I semi-frequently see the clock off by several hours. If you shut KStars down while it is set to current time, it will often start up again set to some bogus time. Sometimes I remember to check this and fix it, but sometimes not.
I don’t think I have ever noticed drift, but I’ll let it run a while and look for it.
