Nothing in the file indicates a meridian flip occurred at all. At any rate, I've this happen sometimes but rarely. I believe it might be due to EQMod model. I added an option in GIT now to reset mount model after a meridian flip is complete, this might help. I should be able to test it once I get my observatory up and running again with the new EQ8.

What is the normal delay between GIT and the PPA?

There is no set time, whenever it is "ready". So I'm expecting within a week.

I had the same problem with the meridian flip last night. I did have reset mount model after a meridian flip enabled. Kstars log showed nothing but guide data. What would be the best logs to diagnose this problem?

Wait for the 2.8.4, there was a problem with the mount reset. I've been imaging for the last 3 nights so I tested everything thoroughly and fixed many issues. I think the final part is better detection of stars in the guiding stage, this tends to fail the most.

I am still having meridian flip issues. I am using kstars-bleeding 2.8.5 Build: 2017-10-02T20:50:48Z from lupinix fedora repro. Attached are the kstar logs. The flip starts about T05:09:04. Also attached are pre and post flip images.

Thanks for the log. I was able to trace down and issue and it's fixed in GIT now.
