@esb I do have the proper time zone offset under Time and Date. I have always had the hand controller connected and GPS working. Also, I always go to the GPS setting and hold down the enter key until it beeps and puts the A in the upper right corner indicating that it has acquired and stored the GPS time and coordinates. I have also confirmed that my Lat/Long for my Home setting is correct in case Ekos grabs that. I then set the handset to use the GPS location. I have KStars/Indi preference set to get the time and location from the mount. I have the same almost random issues every time I connect. It shows the RST-135 pointing at some other location then the due west horizon where the mount is parked. I think that we are having similar problems, and maybe we can work together to figure it out.

As for the version of the Indi driver? Looking at the file dates, there is an Indi update to the RST-135 driver in version 1.8.3 Released showing a date of Jan 2, 2020. But the KStars download file is dated in December. So maybe the latest download of KStars still doesn't have the update. How can we update the Indi drivers in KStars?
