After MeridianFlip: Set exposure time failed

Hello,
last night I had the chance of CS after a 3 month cloud period... So I could test Kstars 3.6.8 the first time. It worked good until meridian flip. The MF itself seemed to work as it should. But at "Align" state it was not possible to set the exposure time of my QHY268C.

QHY CCD QHY268C-xxxxxxx : "[ERROR] Set expose time failed (-1). "

This is the first time this happened. I just woke up about 5 minutes after MF. It was not possible to take any picture. I had to go to park position, close Kstar and restart again (if I remember right). After that it was possible again to take pictures for the rest of the session (until clouds came up :-( )

What also seems to be strange ist the following (alignment solution cancelt after 9208.72s):
[2023-12-18T23:55:57.194 CET INFO ][ org.kde.kstars.ekos.align] - "Lösung abgebrochen nach 9208.72 Sekunden."

9200s means roughly 2.5 hours? That was about the total time of the session till the MF.

What happened here??? Log is attached, the MF was around 2023-12-18T23:55:57.181 CET

Hi,
I also thought about that but was not sure. For information: I dont use the scheduler just the capture tab.

I never had this behaviour with up to Kstars 3.6.6 (couldnt test 3.6.7 due to bad weather)
