The guide module does not allow capture looping to be started while the mount is slewing. This is useful for visually monitoring mount movement. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open mount module 2. Open mount control widget (MCW) 3. Use MCW to unpark mount 4. Use MCW to search for and select a target 5. Switch to guide module 6. Set some reasonable exposure parameters, eg. 0.5 - 2.0s 7. Use MCW to [Goto] the selected target 8. While the mount is still moving try click the [Loop] OBSERVED RESULT The [Loop] button is grayed out / deactivated while the mount is moving EXPECTED RESULT The [Loop] button should be usable to control capture looping, even while the mount is moving. Starting to loop before starting the slew works, so looping isn't inherently incompatible with slewing.

This is a standard across all Ekos modules: No captures while mount is in motion.
