Describe the bug
When platesolving(as part of either polar alignment or generally) if a preview picture is taken via the CCD tab the Gphoto CCD driver can start failing captures or even restart on its own. The restart does not clear the issue and requires a power off of the camera and a reset of the INDI server(either power or reboot). The camera attached is a Nikon D200 with a FTDI serial bulb.

While this is not normally a problem, if I have to interrupt the platesolving it can ruin a night. This may happen if the alignment happens to hit one of the many trees in my imperfect observing location for example.

To Reproduce
1.Start polar alignment
2.Abort polar alignment before complete(note that if platesolving is successful after abort the bug doesn't happen.)
3.Switch to CCD tab and take a preview

Expected behavior
The preview should be blocked until platesolver finishes to prevent unintended interactions
OR
Selecting preview stops platesolver
OR
Aborting platesolving releases the camera properly.
