I have always the same problem every night.

Visibly, Ekos think that PHD2 is OK and begin the capture.
There is a message which indicate that "Autoguiding stopped" and just after an other message which indicate that autoguiding begin.

According to you, do you know if the parameter "Guiding settle" should resolve my problem ?
For example, if I put it with the value of 60 seconds, do you know if Ekos will start capture 60s after the OK of PHD2 ?
