Description Mike 2024-10-29 01:59:44 UTC

SUMMARY
Edit FOV Indicators keeps changing the telescope focal length and camera specs from what is entered. For example, I have a Tak Epsilon 130ED so enter 430 in the focal length box.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click Edit FOV Symbols from menu
2. Select an item and click Edit
3. Click Camera tab

OBSERVED RESULT
Previously entered values have been changed:
Telescope focal length from 430 (Tak Epsilon 130ED0 to 2350 (C9.25)
Camera W & H have been changed to other values that I can't explain
Pixel W & H hace also been changed to other values
Previously calculated FOV is correct and the FOV indicator on the screen is correct.

EXPECTED RESULT
Entered values for telescope focal length & camera specs are unchanged.

I am still seeing similar behavior in version 3.7.4, except that it appears to be only the telescope focal length that reverts to a value I did not enter. Now it's stuck on 430. I deleted all of the FOV indicators I had and started over with a C9.25. I entered 2350 for focal length, entered camera parameters, clicked Compute FOV and then clicked OK. I then clicked edit to review my input and the telescope focal length had been changed to 430. Everything else remained the same. I've tried updating several times with different values and each time it reverts to 430.
