Hi,
Looking forward to playing with this new release!
Thanks for the new video and the updates.

Hi Jean-Claude,
I checked (again) the video you suggested. It seemed that I forgot to "Capture and Solve" before starting the Polar Alignement tool. I tried several times with the procedure you mentioned, and every time the assistant worked perfectly (even at speed x9, and by pointing at any star, possible since a "recent" update of kstars/ekos).
Thank you very much for this reminder. This is typically the thing that happen when you do not write somewhere the exact procedure and try to do things based on your (defective) memory. It will not happen again!
Anyway, thanks for you time and detailed answer, I really appreciate!

Dear all,
I've an issue during the Polar Alignement process, just after the first image has been taken and plate-solved, when the mount rotates to take the second picture. The process stops there, and I got a message telling me:
Mount aborted. Please restart the process and reduce the speed.
