Hi and thank you for your answer.
Your reply suggested that it has nothing to do with ekos/kstars so i took the code from github and...it seems that the absolute max position is hardcoded to 60000:

bool MoonLite::initProperties()
{
    INDI::Focuser::initProperties();
   /* removed some lines */
    FocusAbsPosN[0].min   = 0.;
    FocusAbsPosN[0].max   = 60000.;
    FocusAbsPosN[0].value = 0;
    FocusAbsPosN[0].step  = 1000;

    setDefaultPollingPeriod(500);
    addDebugControl();

    return true;

So it seems it was a bad idea leverage moonlight's driver for my diy focuser :(

Modifying the max travel in the indi interface doesn't seems to solve the problem.
