Hello everyone,
I work in KStars via INDIserver (both latest version). Currently, I'm having the following problem:
After switching on, in order to calibrate the mount I use the Align tab in Ekos. My actions are:
1. I launch Ekos, connect to the INDI-server
2. In the INDI Control Panel window in the EQMOD section on the Aligment, Sync and Align tabs, I delete all points and coordinates. Click on
Aligment => "Delete all the entries in the set" -> "Ok",
Sync => "Clear Sync Delta"
Align => "Clear List"
3. After that, I do Plate Solving (position recognition) of the current position once (near the pole)
4. I send EQMod to some bright star (Track command).
5. In Ekos, on the Align tab, select "Slew to target" and click "Capture & Solve". The error is quite high but falls with each iteration, and after several iterations, the star is in the center. During this time, several synchronization points are stored in EQMod.
6. I do steps 4 and 5 again for another star.
7. In theory, there's enough for calibration, but when you hover over the 3rd star, the error remains very high.
8. No matter how many times I do over steps 4, 5, 6. When aiming at another star, the mount keeps missing (even the frame does not fit).
Also, there's some strangeness in how Kstars shows where the mount is pointed to. I hardly move the mount, but it jumps over the half of the sky. More clearly you can see it on this video (in addition recorded all settings):

I'd be glad to have any help in solving this problem.
