Aha! Those changes seem to do it. I was able to capture 30X60sec darks and 30X120sec darks in succession as a test. Both sequences completed successfully. One last question, is there a way to resize the KStars image preview window, I'd like to make it something manageable like 480X270 (1/4 Full HD screen)

Sorry about that... I transferred it from the Pi to my NAS, and that apparently corrupted the file. Here is the clean file.

A little more debug information... I turned on debug including driver debug. Attached is the log.

Using the latest KStars 2.8.2 the issue persists, though less often. Each session achieved ~15-20 60 second images before failing(Aborted Status). Expose light on Camera panel is colored red. Clicking the "set" button on the control panel tab for the camera succeeds in taking a 1 second exposure
Following are the session log as well as the indi control log:

I have been working to set up EKOS, KStars & Indi on the following setup:
Raspberry Pi 3 Running Ubuntu Mint
indilib 1.5.0
KStars/Ekos 2.7.5
Canon 650D
iOptron CEM25P
Pertinent info:
The Canon is set to M, with the exposure time set to Bulb.
I have the mount hooked up using a USB->Serial converter plugged into one USB port and the Canon's USB connection plugged into another. I have been troubleshooting the following issue, but am now at an impasse. The camera will take a random number of long(60 second darks) exposures(5/30 & 24/60) and then will stop taking long exposures and take ~ 1 sec exposures while the timer in Ekos is still counting down. Pausing the the sequence does not clear the issue, nor does cancelling it. When the error happens, it seems to be preceded by a message similar to this: Exposure failed, restarting exposure. Check the Indi Options window for more details. I'd love to straighten these errors out while I have a spate of cloudy nights 
Thanks,
Eric
