Launching Kstars by itself? (No INDI) causes a crash?
I don't have a fancy new M1, but the MacOS binaries work on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) running OSX 12.5 (21G72) with no problem.
Perhaps my college bound kid, who just got an M1 last week, will let me try on that machine?
