Thanks for your workaround. I recently fixed up all the precession issues in the Ctrl + M manual set position. It doesn't do nutation correctly if I remember right, so there may still be some small amount of error which should be totally negligible for most amateur use-cases. If you find any precession issues here, please let me know.
I'm not sure where you reported the Flag bug, could you point me to it please? I'll put it on the ever-expanding list of issues on the repo.

I believe the wizard is broken, it's not your misinterpretation. See invent.kde.org/education/kstars/-/issues/173
We recently upgraded our DSO storage and retrieval code to work well with the space-partitioning data structure we use. This enables us to do a lot of other cool things (like enable a database of 1 million galaxies), but I suspect it has broken many things; I imagine this is one of the things that's not working because of this change. Please add your feedback to the issue linked above so we can make sure to take it into account when we fix it.

I believe this is intentionally designed to limit the number of queries on the database, but I can't remember the rationale for it -- perhaps Valentin or Jasem know.

Just in case anyone else encounters this and can rollback to a different version of INDI unlike OP, rolling back to v1.8.6 (both on indi and indi-3rdparty) worked for me. pyindi-client was built from master.

I hit the same issue today on ARM (Raspberry Pi 4B+). My best guess is that there has been a change in INDI that breaks PyINDI. For example, I also noticed that `pyindi-client` `master` does not build against `indi` `master` right now. I had to roll back `indi` to the most recent tag to make it build. I will try rolling back INDI further and let you know if I succeed.

I managed to generate what seems like a much more useful backtrace by attaching

Hi
I apologize if my question is inane, because I'm rather new to INDI and hardware even though I've worked on KStars for long.
I have an old ZWO ASI 290MC-Cool camera (which is now discontinued), and it was working fine until I had to make a system update during which I also updated `libindi` and `indi-3rdparty` drivers to `master` and built them from source. With this version of INDI, a previously working PyINDI client application exits with the following error message:
Dispatch command error(-1): INDI: <setNumberVector> bogus state (null) for ERATURE
<setNumberVector device="ASI290MC-Cool" name="ERATURE" state="(null)" timeout="0" timestamp="2021-01-09T10:05:42"/>

Yes, the DBus interface exposes a good chunk of functionality -- and if something is not there, let us know, it isn't too difficult to add a DBus wrapper to any method existing in KStars.
There is an open-source speech recognition engine called CMU Sphinx, and there's also KDE's speech recognition efforts named Simon. I don't know the state of either project, but I presume they are still not using Deep Neural Networks, and it's very unlikely that they are as good as Amazon's or Google's APIs due to the sheer amount of data they have. Yet, they might actually work pretty well for a small list of known commands, and that was the intention for Simon at least as far as I know.

Hi
Unfortunately, I don't have time to work on this today -- I'm about to leave for an astronomy trip, so there's all the packing and stuff. If I do have time to work on it during the day over the next few days, I will. But if someone else wants to look into it sooner than I can, please do so.
Workaround: Avoid altaz grid and horizontal coordinates.
Some developer information: While I believe that the transition to CachingDms could be responsible for this, I haven't found any immediate evidence. The problem seems to be:
1. A line that returns a Vector2f(0, 0) in Projector::toScreenVec instead of failing an assert and crashing (added in Android transition efforts)
2. A call to NoPrecessIndex::JITUpdate() seems to mangle the azimuth. I guess this is the effect of calling HorizontalToEquatorial and then EquatorialToHorizontal when altitude = 90.0 (i.e. when alt = 90, azimuth is indeterminate).
3. It should be okay to set the azimuth to something finite just so computations don't turn out to become NaN all the time -- but I would refrain from doing it in toScreenVec, since it is called a million times per draw under certain settings.
Regards
Akarsh
