can't solve, crashing

[Hy Murveit]

I got my system working, though I'm not sure of all what happened.
Here's a partial debrief.

Something happened that caused align to fail, and possibly to crash with
the bad_alloc early in the evening.
Don't know what that was. When that happened, my telescope was left
pointing at my target--not at the north star.
I restarted kstars and tried to get align working...but I forgot to reset
the scope.
>From then on, when I was debugging and trying to get my system working
again, my scope
had the wrong idea about where it was pointing, and so the "use position"
constraint in alignment caused it to fail,
and me to debug in vain.

Once I actually went outside and looked at the scope, I realized I should
disable "use position" and ASTAP worked.
Then I purged the park position, and got the scope and kstars/indi back on
track.
I actually got one more bad_malloc from StellarSolver's internal solver,
but I don't have the energy to figure out
if there's still an issue with that. I'm just going to image with ASTAP
tonight, and worry about it some other day.
