Just tested that 'Center and track' for planets works fine in 2.5.0 kstars desktop.

It's not urgent, but yes this would help. Also including URLs to
https://edu.kde.org/kstars/ , http://indilib.org/ and such.

See attached photos. When I rotated the device the two white borders changed
position relative to the new viewscreen. The first shows the white borders top
and right, the second shows the white borders right and bottom.
You have to zoom in to 1:1 pixel level to see the white lines.


Additionally I just tested the INDI interface. Works great!
