Initial startup crash report

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
I started Ekos and indi then pressed connect. The first 3 profiles showed up. then it crashed
I did not set or reset all parameters in all profiles, but these items allowed me to progress.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. crash recovery > reactivate StellarMate Web Manager.
2. 30 iterations of solver did not resolve, even though sirius was centred in Image viewer > enable solver in Indi / Astrometry panel and reset "ZWO CCD" as it was now blank.. All now OK for Solver as it was immediately within 2 arc seconds and green.
3. Anomoly on graphs:-  SNR Guiding vs SNR Analyse vs SNR setup Page graph. I will compile a 1 page summary and send it
In summary. SNR shows initially in the graph, but doesn't keep showing in the Analyse page.
SNR Is good in Setup Page Guide Window, but in Guide Window it was as if I had the exposure delay enabled. It was not.

OBSERVED RESULT
Currently running nicely

EXPECTED RESULT
I hoped for a simpler startup

Hello Jasem
Kstars 3.6.4 is MAGIC.

How do I apologize for annoying reporting, but connection and guiding is now the best I have seen.
Congratulations & Kind Regards
Len

Are you compiling? 3.6.3 is latest stable release. 3.6.4 is beta.

Solver issues, where an aligned telescope suddenly stopped functioning.

After the crash, the system was restarted (cold start) but solver issues were the main problem, everything else was OK.
After the next start, poor guiding and variations in SNR displays was a minor issue.
p.s. I loaded your new version 3.6.4 soon after it was uploaded and it is amazing, just like the old days. connection was fine, guiding was precise and flexible. 
Guess I can now go back to 30min exposures. 
Thanks
