Bug ID: 423137
Summary: Spinning Beachball during Alignment Capture
Product: kstars
Version: 3.4.2
Platform: Other
OS: macOS
Status: REPORTED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com
Reporter: mountainai...@outlook.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When capturing images during the polar alignment routine, the Mac version of
KStars connected to StellarMate sees long delays and a spinning beackball
cursor. This can often delay an image 30 seconds, making most short-duration
operations in KStars almost unbearably long. This may happen in other modules
that use the camera, but I tend to not get past alignment when it happens.
Quitting and restarting KStars and StellarMate has no effect, nor does
rebooting the Mac.
Note: Could this be related to the Wi-Fi network at my dark sky site not having
an Internet connection? Maybe that’s why I never seem to experience this at
home. This did happen to me once before, but it somehow went away on its own.
Now it’s back.
Unfortunately I enabled logging but missed writing it to a file. I will try to
capture a log later tonight.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch KStars on Mac
2. Start equipment profile that points to StellarMate
3. Enter alignment module
4. Begin polar alignment
OBSERVED RESULT
There is a long delay and a “spinning beachball of death” before each captured
frame.
EXPECTED RESULT
No delay.
