Hi all,
last night I had the chance to finally test Ekos and its polar alignment procedure.
I had problems with it because when moving the mount (iOptron SmartEQ Pro) for the first rotation Ekos parked the mount instead and then stopped.
I had to use the manual slew and then the procedure completed correctly (and quickly, I should say) leaving the mount perfectly aligned.
However, I also experienced a lot of crashes of Kstars/Ekos on my 64-bit Intel miniPC with Ubuntu 18.04: has anybody else experienced the same crash problems?
Thank you.
