Created attachment 155803 [details] The charts have been assembled to show my view of the events. SUMMARY *** Kstars Version 3.6.3 Beta Build: 2023-01-30T13:18:19Z *** Guiding and capture was stable - attachment 1 [details] Guiding jumped by about 175 arc seconds in 30 seconds - attachment 2 [details] Earlier I had alignment issues so had turned on Alignment Logging, but that log didn't help the other issue - attachment 3 [details] STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Changing viewing screens between Guiding, CCD and setup have often caused guiding instability sometimes just a bump.. or a crash. 2. The mount and outside equipment are on a capable battery with filtered AC charging and earth bonding. Data is 30 metres via ethernet. 3. Remote 64 bit Indi has seen RPi 4B-4G replace the RPi3B and now run Kubuntu inside. OBSERVED RESULT No Change observed, still have setup and operational issues EXPECTED RESULT The issues are not passive as when the guide stars are lost, there is extreme motion involved. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 22.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.15.0-58-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680/PCIe/SSE2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have compared a Unihedron SQM graph of the night and although it closely follows your sky quality reading. this time it didn't.
Created attachment 155804 [details] This is what I love about what the KStars team does - perfect Sorry that I cannot even write a report properly (2 more attachments to come)
Created attachment 155805 [details] Guiding history with an RMS of 62.1 was outstanding then...
Created attachment 155806 [details] Earlier I had some issues with alignment where there were 6 tries but it was no closer to resolution. Capture and solve has been the best part of following the Kstars development. It is fast and I don't want to go back to sitting outside driving PHD-2 from a laptop. Thanks
I don't believe this is an Ekos Guide issue, many users are getting very good results with it, so I'll have to mark this as works-for-me.
