<div dir="auto">Fascinating video, thank you for putting it together.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I suspect what’s happening is that it’s showing you the next day’s transit. So showing 1:43 or such after the day’s meridian transit might be correct in a certain light although it’s certainly not what I would’ve expected the program to show. The fact that it shows what I’m guessing is the next day’s transit even _before_ the moon has crossed the meridian is definitely a bug.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The second bug is the moon jumping. There are a lot of sky map computation errors when the simulation clock is paused because the coordinates are not refreshed properly. I suspect this is one of those, where we are confusing J2000 and JNow positions. I have either pending or merged merge requests that _may_ fix this issue.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Regards</div><div dir="auto">Akarsh</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Dec 5, 2024 at 05:21 Giovanni Ceribella <<a href="mailto:giovanniceribella@gmail.com">giovanniceribella@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204)"><u></u>

<p>Dear Jasem,</p>
<p>Thank you for the good news. It is great that kstars/ekos is
constantly being developed and that new functions are added with
each release. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, the basic planetarium UI and some of its functions
are still suffering from bugs which don't seem to get much
attention. As I didn't find any reference to it in the changelog
of 3.7.4, I took the liberty of posting a short unlisted video
demonstrating one of such bugs, that has been affecting my
installation: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XImXZ6OXNCs" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XImXZ6OXNCs</a>
.<br>
</p>
<p>As a professional astronomer that regularly uses kstars for work,
I would be grateful if you or the other developers could have a
look also in these less groundbreaking "features" of the program.</p>
<p>Thank you in advance,<br>
Best regards,</p>
Giovanni Ceribella

<div>Very cool features are in this release including a
completely new imaging planner by Hy Murveit, and Simbad
integration in the FITS Viewer by John Evans.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>John also added experimental contrast-based focus that
works great for Lunar and Solar imaging.</div>
