two fails

 Well, not quite failures, but against all odds. 1. PHD2 rejecting dark frames. 2. EKOS guider rejecting dark frames. 3. Capture decided to change offset from 768 to 70 during the IC410 session.

Bueno... Strategies used
1. Forget PHD" and use instead...
2. ... the EKOS internal guider and post to the INDI Discord about the dark frames being rejected.
3. Stack without dark or flat frames.

Meanwhile 2 seems to have been fixed but better not speak too soon as it is tested only during daytime. No actual guiding yet, just at least the guide dark frames seem to be being used. O sea, there's no error when checking  the 'Dark' button in the EKOS guide module. Progress and big call out to Jasem on the Stellermate Discord for fixing the dark frame stuff.
