Hello,
I get great troubles with the automatic ekos polar alignment. As the end of the mount movement seems not to be well detected the capture of a next image start before the mount stop. Which product unexpected results on the polar alignment.
Before we could switch to the manual mode to have a complete control on the process. Unfortunately this option disappeared in V2.9.7.
Is there an option hidden somewhere to get it back ?

Right, in 2.9.7 it's completely automated. But why isn't it detecting mount stop? what mount are you using? logs?

I use an ioptron cem60 mount. After the first capture the following one start before the mount stop.

So first capture --> first rotation --> second capture. So second capture starts before the rotation is complete? or in the middle? Can you please attach the logs?

The capture start with the rotation, not in the middle.
I mentioned that when I choose west rotation second capture start same time as the first rotation. When east is chosen capture start same time as the third rotation.
I will record logs tonight.
I think this is too bad to have lost this capability to control manually the process.

Here are the logs of the last night for the ieq mount and qhy camera and kstars.
Hope you will find, Jasem, what the problem is in those logs.
Best regards

You only need to send the KStars log. But looks like Align module wasn't checked in the log option so it was not recorded. You need to check that.

O I was sure to have checked it. Maybe the restart of kstars I have done erased the choices.

Here are the logs of my last night. I had some troubles at starting of the session: the telescopic leg of my tripod, the one which was pointing to the north has folded without I noticed it. I fixed it after noticing it. After that I have done some more polars alignments. Oddly, the polar alignment worked when rotating to west and failed when rotating to east. Always for the same reason the second rotation begins before the capture ended.

hope the information is inside the joined files this time.
