I have the same problem too. Error happens after third capture if "FITS limited resources" is checked. If it's unchecked Polar Alignment goes never ending loop when it's trying to capture&solve first image. I think I've tested all combinations with FITS, Solver and simulator camera WCS settings. Nothing works. Any idea what is going on?

This happens with the latest master branch and it has been like that at least 2 months. Same thing with simulator and my real equipment.

Configure KStars -> FITS -> Limited recources checked
