Align issue after meridian Flip

Hi guys,
I'm running last version of Kstars/ekos on a raspberry PI4. Since a few sessions, I have a big issue after meridian flip, all images after flip are showing elongated stars
just like this one
  
This night a put verbose logs to see what is going on.
The meridian flip goes well, and after flip motion, an align action starts. After a large number of  solve and slew it ends whit a failure. The scheduler stars guiding and capture begins. 
In my understanding of logs, my next photo should be a portion of the sky not aligned with my object but with round stars.... 
If needed I can attach a portion of the logs (35 mo).

Thanks for you suggestions.

That's exactly what I see also lately. It is a problem with the guider starting give very large corrections. Haven't figured out exactly what is wrong. Maybe had to do with revert dec after meridian flip setting.

My Reverse DEC setting is set to OFF.
My mount is an Avalon Fast Linear using EQ6 motherboard and Eqmod driver. Comming from windows I have never seen such guiding corrections...
This evening a will plan a first object just near meridian to see what is happening

Think I tried both options now without success. Think I will switch the "resuse calibration" feature to off again. It's slower but I always used to have good results.
(Using an Ioptron CEM60)

Rgrds,

I think I will do the same thing. It's slower but it can save me 3 hours of capture.

I change some settings and know it works
 
   

Mount Model is always purged and guiding calibration is restarted after each slew.
