Timeout Setting for Guiding when it should re-align

Yesterday I had the following scenario with the Scheduler:

- tracking to traget (M27).
- Aligning successful
- started to calibrate guiding but then the mount was moving to fast and moving way off the target. Guiding calibration was never successful, because it could get hold of the guiding star

I had to stop the process and start over and then it worked.

Here is my recommendation / wish:

When guiding is not successful for some time and KStars even notices that the mount has moved way off the target, then please go back to alignment and do it again. Even if the guiding would have been successful after a few minutes the FOV would not have the object in view anymore.

That's a good idea. It's implemented in GIT. Should be in next release.
