Ekos Polar Alignment Tool Crashing

Hi,

I tried to use the polar alignment assistant on the weekend for the first time as I normally use Sharpcap PA. I got through the three solves to the point at which the fits image with the correction vector appears. As this is quite small I toggled to full screen at which point KStars crashed. I was not game to try it again as it just wastes valuable AP time and I had already done a SharpCap PA so I knew that I was OK. I will try again when I have more time but it seemed that toggling to full screen caused the crash. I am using an Odroid XU4 with 4 gig ram so don't think that it is a memory issue.
Cheers

Hi Mike,

maybe logs would help to solve the problem, but it seems like you are happy with Sharpcap. I would use Sharpcap, but Ekos is the only software that allows me to use my DSLR. It's interesting, that your problem appears, when you toggle to full screen. When I use the polar alignment tool the vector doesn't even appear, so I am not able to use it in any way. Hope there is a solution for the occurring problems.

Hi Lunas
I am going to try again tomorrow cos I hate to let these things beat me. I am also hoping that the improved FITS stability in the recently released KStars 3.3 will sort out my problem although it may be different to yours. I hope that you find a solution.
