I have been using the stable release for about five months now without any major issues, and the automated meridian flip was flawless. It was great to wake up and find everything went well during the night.

But yesterday I downloaded the latest nightly and discovered that after s flip, the guided wouldn’t recalibrate correctly. It failed to reverse the direction and so couldn’t calibrate at all and so the imaging session was halted. I caught this one hour before twilight so I was able to fix it and get one more hour of work. I simply clicked on the swap option and EKOS was able calibrate again.

This never happened in the stable release. Is there a new option somewhere that I have to adjust?

Also the guider now has a calibration graph. Does this have a purpose and if so, how do I read it and use that info?
