Using Kstars 3.6.3 here with Stellarmate and observing the following issue:
- press align in the OnStep indi control panel
- using the mount model tool I select 3 stars and press start
- mount moves to first position and solves image
- Ekos says "Syncing to RA (..."
- at the same time mount moves to 2nd star already, but in Indi panel it already says "Communication error on sync! Re-issue sync!"
- after mount has reached 2nd star Ekos is stuck until i press stop in the mount model tool then it says "Mount model tool is reset" and "Solver aborted after xxx seconds"

I came from Astroberry before which had an older version of Kstars/Indi and there the same procedure with the same OnStep controller works, however I noticed the Sync of the mount can take VERY long time (like 2 minutes until it moves to the next star). Seems this waiting time is skipped somehow on this newer version of KStars/Ekos/Indi.

Any ideas what could be wrong?
