ISO8601 should be unified between local and remote modes. Fix remaining issues with flat capture counters and switch between local and remote in modes

+ N/S/W/E motion state is now recognized by the telescope class and advertised as such along with direction.

Fix exposure number when doing auto ADU calculations in file name. Include fractional exposure values in filenames when needed

Detect if flat image is already saturated before calculating fitting. Only utilize polynomial fitting if we have 4 or more points since it can quite unreliable at low counts

Add support for observers in capture module. Observer names are sent to INDI CCD driver where they are recorded in the FITS header. Furthermore, target name is also sent to the CCD driver to be recorded as OBJECT

+ Fix issue where parking mount and dome were not called if flat job was not at the beginning of the sequence.
+ Added tolerance parameter to ADU calculations instead of the hard-coded tolerance percentage settings.

Use polynomial fitting also in capture module to calculate optimal exposure time in flat frames in addition to least-square fitting

Load filter offsets on startup. When starting a sequence, read offset value of current filter as it forms the basis of all offsets

Implement proper update of button status inside each module separately by signals and not directly as it causes many issues and goes against the separation of modules and Ekos manager

Moving DSLR transfer format option to capture instead of options. It is not recorded in the sequence file like other parameters

This patch contains 3 fixes. First, It will allow kstars to handle drivers that have xml files but no binary files.  That way, if your remote server has a driver that your local computer does not, then you can still use the driver in remote mode, but not local mode in kstars.
I made it so that in both the device manager and in the profile editor, drivers that have no binary file are displayed with a remote icon.  Also in the profile editor, when in local mode, the remote drivers do not appear.
Second, this patch addresses a fits view default size problem.  I improved the algorithm for calculating what the default size should be based on the viewport and I updated the base size to reflect the correct size of the fits view inside the fits viewer.
And finally, I made several corrections for OS X where the windows were not QT Tools and they could end up behind the main application window.

+ Fixed park/unpark notifications

This patch will disable key buttons while slewing to address a problem I have had many times when using kstars, particularly with the align module.
I often hit the button before it is ready because there is no definitive indication on the screen that it has arrived at the location.  So I wrote some code that will disable the buttons in question while the telescope is slewing and then re-enables them afterward.

+ Made a button to make the FITSViewer optional for taking images with the capture module.  This would make sense if you are taking lots of photos and are using the summary page to monitor and would prefer to avoid window clutter.
+ Put a preview fits view in the ekos manager that loads when you take a FITS_NORMAL image.  This is great for monitoring the image in the summary page since you can zoom way in or out to see that different aspects of your image are being recorded well .  The image can also get loaded in the fits viewer simultaneously.  This can have the added benefit of monitoring one area of the image in the fits viewer and another in the summary page.
+ Figured out why the graph in the focus module got scrunched that one time when I was talking with you on google hangouts and I couldn’t figure out what had happened.  It was because I had just been using the full screen focus window and had put it back away. When it was added to the right panel, it took on its minimum size.  So I came up with a way that the user can resize the fits view and the graph on the right hand side of the focus module.
