polar alignment

Hi,

A couple of times, when I tried to do a Polar alignment, I´m not able to position the triangle over the star that I want. When I click with the mouse in a point of the image, triangle moves to a different part of the picture. It is like coordinates of image doesn´t match with coordinates of my mouse.

If I close KStars and I start the process from 0 it works fine, so it is something that doesn´t happend all the times.

I´m using Ekos (version 1.9.5 of Indi) with Astroberry in a Raspberry PI 3, and I´m using VNC to handle Ekos. I don´t have any other problem with the mouse, it only happends with the alignment picture. I´m using a ASI294 MM camera, in binning 4 mode for Polar alignment. I don´t know if it could be related with binning, because it changes the size of the image and could affect to coordinates. I also tried with binning 2 and the same results.

I don´t have logs, and I´m not sure this kind of issues appears in logs. I will try to collect it next time if the error appears again.

For example, in the next picture I´m not able to see the entire triangle. If I click on the rigth bottom corner, triangle moves to position you see in the image.

Have you tried turning binning of for PA? Just to make sure this behavior does not depend on binning ...

Hi,

I had the issue with binning 2 and binning 4. I can´t use binning 1 because I´m using a Raspberry 3 with 1GB of RAM. If I use binning 1, image is too heavy for my Raspberry and everithing crash.

I want to buy a Raspberry 4, but there is not stock since a year ago...

Anyway, it is strange because it doesn´t happend all the times. It looks like coordinates of image and mouse are not aligned.

The interface was updated since then, please check it out.
