[Kstars-devel] Center & Track McNaught 2006 P1 caused hyperwarp jump

[Peter Baitz]

Jason,

I'm not sure what exactly happened or cause it, but on
my FC6 Linux with Kstars 1.2.5, I downloaded the
latest ephemeris data 2007.01, stopped and restarted
Kstars, did a search for comet object McNaught 2006
P1, found it, did a center & track, and soon as I did
this, the Kstars field jumped out to literally
2billion or 2 trillion degrees Azimuth and same but
negative for Altitude, and the Right Ascention and
Declination followed - as displayed in the bottom
right hand corner, and the whole starfield was
black/blank, and the +/- keys were grayed out or not
working.  I closed down Kstars and back up, and it
came back up the same.  I then asked Kstars to search
for the Sun object and it found it - but the whole
starfield was the size of a tennis ball until I then
used the "+" key a bunch of times to zoom in to a
normal view. 

Could there still be any problem with the McNaught
2006 P1 format or something else in another data file?

Peter
