Created attachment 147352 [details] This screen grab does not reflect my sky at the shown time date and location. SUMMARY *** Before I start.. I love what you people achieve with kstars -big fan. *** I am using an RPi 4B 4G Linux (aarch64) release 5.4.0-1052-raspi and a Stellar Mate remote server, but the problem occurs before I start EKOS an even if I don't have the Stellar Mate connected STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start kstars and confirm location, dates, times, the meridian line and Sky Image orientation - I live in the Southern Hemisphere so appreciate that this information is normally remembered 2. Last night the first go-to was not correct so I shut it down for a restart and it parked my Gemini 2 Telescope facing the ground. This has not ever happened before. 3. I restarted and checked Step 1 where I got a sky image with only part of the meridian visible. Setting time to NOW made no difference so I went to POINTING and chose SOUTH then ZENITH. This returned the meridian and sky view to correct orientation and I had a good night of imaging. Tonight it did the same, the sky image did not initially show my sky 4 An apology, KStars has made me lazy and I have always used the Sky Image as my reference but now I have to check KStars OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Thank you for the report. I'm still not exactly sure what the problem is. You open KStars and you need to orient it to look at a specific direction? like south?
Created attachment 147377 [details] attachment-5448-0.html Hello Jasem, Please accept this email as one subject. Each night before I start, I have to manually enter a lot of basic information that the program should remember - now I have to align the Sky Image Map on KStars front page before I proceed to EKOS. KStars 3.5.7 Stable is fine on Win10 and Mac OS 10.13. 6. as of tonight, but I am having this issue on a RPI 4B 4G Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS (Focal Fossa) 64-bit Kernel Linux 5.4.0-1053-raspi aarch64 + Mate 1.24.0 and I have 16.6GB of available disk space. My remote server is a Stellar Mate RPi3B. ## My ISP has just reported a maintenance shutdown for internet issues. I use the internet for NTP Time.## Prior to recent update EKOS would always sync with My DISPLAYED time date and location (as shown in writing on the Sky Image - the first screen of kstars) so my orientation and sky tracking was good. The planetarium may have not always have been really accurate, but was never a serious issue as it corrected itself with the first plate solve. Now it appears that in indi My written time, date and location is being replaced with whatever the planetarium sky image shows my location and therefore sky view to be, even if it shows the wrong hemisphere. THIS DOESN’T HELP - Setting the TIME>to NOW does’nt help THIS ALWAYS FIXES IT - But in Pointing, just pressing >Zenith always helps. If the Sky Image is still upside down then pressing >South, then >Zenith completely syncs indi to the correct orientation before opening EKOS. It doesn’t stop kstars from being much better than many expensive programs, but it just adds my location as another item to the long list of preset parameters that it forgets and needs attention when setting up. Most of these should be “written in stone items” and don’t change. Such as:- my ownership name “Len North”on the camera fits header files - This is not currently saved but has to be entered manually and nightly on the Indi Control Panel-KStars > CCD General Info screen > Fits Header> OBSERVER my QSI preset temp is always -20 deg C, but it is never remembered, The field on the Indi Control Panel-KStars > CCD > Temperature just shows ambient temp on startup and them randomly shows a meaningless temperature. my QSI rotation usually has 2 rotation changes twice per year, but needs me to manually reset the WCS setting each night ( Bouquets-it often remembers during restarts throughout the evening) my guide camera always asks for camera rotation even though I always set WCS disabled. my 45,000 max steps on the Pegasus focuser often / randomly reverts to 100,000 steps - the default Rather than an editable and saveable config library for fixed presets or Backups, the program appears to on rely on multiple locations with the fluid versions of the same data and worse, the new info is now editable easily but not recorded in the master config. Further to the Fits Header File. All I see now is “Generated By indi" but surely a version and build number is a start. I have included a fits header from 2018 using The Sky X Pro, but all my files since 2012 are traceable to me and my location along with whatever equipment I was using… my photos are embedded as my photos.
