base64.b64encode() produces a single unbroken line, which causes KStars to close the connection when receiving large BLOBs. Switch to base64.encodebytes() which inserts newlines every 76 characters, matching the line-wrapped base64 that KStars expects. Fixes #35 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fixes #35
Problem
base64.b64encode()produces a single unbroken line of base64 data. When KStars receives a<oneBLOB>element containing a large unbroken base64 string it closes the connection.Fix
Switch to
base64.encodebytes()which inserts a newline every 76 characters, producing line-wrapped base64 that KStars handles correctly.
