            Bug ID: 503644
           Summary: Satellite Pointing IC 2915
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kstars
           Version: 3.7.6
          Platform: macOS (DMG)
                OS: macOS
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

Created attachment 180867
  --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=180867&action=edit
Focus shifted to IC 2915 but info for NOAA 18 still displayed.

SUMMARY
After using the Find Object feature to focus on a satellite, the focus shifts
unpredictably to IC 2915. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use the find object feature to focus on a satellite (eg NOAA 18)
2. Zoom in (tracking was automatically enabled) 


OBSERVED RESULT
Focus unexpectedly shifts to IC 2915. This does not happen when I focus on
DSOs, planets, or stars, those keep their focus. 

EXPECTED RESULT
Expected the focus to stay on the satellite indefinitely so I can hook up a
telescope mount and orcanize control commands.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: Sequoia 15.4.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0
Qt Version: Version 5.15.13 (built against 5.15.12)
Stable Release 
Build: 2025-04-01T10:32:04Z

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tried restarting the application. Redownloading the .dmg.  I tried deleting
the entire DSO catelog and it still focuses to the random spot where IC 2915
was.

In the attached image you can see that I tried to focus on NOAA 18. It's
elevation shows it should be above the horizon. Instead the focus shifted to
where IC 2915 is, below the horizin and just above the belt of geostationary
satellites. The wrong position.
