Crash when capturing and the mount is not connected

Hi, this seems like a simple enough bug:

If I attempt to capture an image and the mount is not connected (or more likely, in some weird state and no longer wants to connect) ekos/kstars crashes.

Kstars 3.6.1
CEM26
QHY268
SV905C
iPolar

I tried with all 3 cameras, which seems to imply that the system wants some information from the mount and crashes when it cannot get it.
The work-around is simple enough - power the mount on and off.

YAY!!!!!

This was driving me bonkers because I use the camera to get good alignment before the mount can be connected. Went so far as to order a new cable that I hope will allow me to use EQMOD with my EQ35-Pro and not have to rely on the hand controller any more.

Thanks Jasem, tested and it looks ok!

Turns out the CEM-26 refuses connections after it has been parked for a while.
