I do believe that with Python 3.8.x Kstars/Ekos is having issues.
I have reinstalled my 2010 Mac Mini (managed to put Catalina on it) Brew installed python 3.8.5 and I'm unable to use Kstars as I use it on my Mojave laptop still running Python 3.7
I do no not know if it's worth looking into this or not. As I believe we're trying to get away from a Python setup in the alignment tool for example.
Currently re-installing High Sierra back and will not use the Python setup but sextractor instead.

A more detailed report would be welcome. Judging from what you write you seem to mean that Python 3.8 for the internal solver doesn’t work. Is that correct? Can you post symptoms like error messages etc. that show the issue?
