  Damn, forgot the release notes for the "disable aggregation" fix.

Waiting for Peter Prendergast to report if this is working for him.

Oops, the changes caused the Disable Aggregation option in ACP to be ignored!

  The behavior of autoguiding has been made more logical, particularly with regard to "aggregated exposure times" which now affect only a single ImageSet. Documented aggregated autoguiding. Also increased the size of fixed-pitch font in the help docs.

The net result of this should be that guiding for aggregated exposure times should be non-fatal if the individual exposures are shorter than the max unguided, and aggregated guiding should not be attempted after the first try. If an individual exposure is longer than max-unguided and guiding fails, the action should be per STRICT_AUTOGUIDING.

The aggregation was being done across ImageSets within an Observation. This is probably not a good idea as it will fail for a guider behind the filters. Limit aggregation to a single ImageSet.
