The new ultra-dark mode in v1.4 fixes that. Just press the eye icon on the toolbar to make the app and the Sky Map red and dim.
As far as the plate solving is concerned, I didn't experience pointing issues last time. Unfortunately, Astroberry's INDI and KStars versions are not up-to-date. See this GitHub issue .

I didn't realise Astroberry INDI repo hadn't been updated for 1.8.8. Maybe I should get Ubuntu and install Kstars/Ekos, INDI and astrometry.net from their official repos directly.
