Yes, I verified this issue. The problem is that the widget gets its min/max from the camera characteristics. I can fix this like I fixed other similar issues (e.g. gain/ISO drop-down) by storing/retrieving the values from the last connect to the camera. I'll try and get to that in the next few days, so hopefully fixed in the next release and in upcoming nightly release--but not yet.

Bill,
I wish I had a good answer for you (and I'm definitely not "one of the Mac developers") but I'll add that window showing/hiding has been an issue on the Mac for a while. Probably more of a Qt issue than a KStars issue. @rlancaste has looked at it for a while. You can try playing with the "independent window" settings in the "configure KStars" menus--e.g. in the FITS, Ekos, and INDI tabs there.

Also, I'm guessing you'd have to re-start KStars (not 100% sure) after you edited that file, for it to re-load the parameters from that file.

Bill,
The calibration is stored in the parameters file. So, if you are on linux you can find that file in ~/.config/kstarsrc
Here's the line (from my dev system, not my real telescope):
SerializedCalibration=Cal v1.0,bx=2,by=2,pw=0.00375,ph=0.00375,fl=170,ang=275.421,angR=270.039,angD=190.803,ramspas=295.899,decmspas=250.12,swap=0,ra= 75:26:32,dec=02:47:50,side=0,when=2023-03-24 15:41:39,calEnd
If you want to understand all the various fields, check out the Calibration::serialize() and Calibration::restore() methods near here:

Enabling/disabling overlays won't have any effect. The images are all loaded on startup regardless if they're currently set to display.
Memory use and Virtual Memory are two different things . I'm not familiar with MS Windows. This page says look at "committed pages":

Autofocusing on stars has been the only thing supported. That said, John and I were thinking of looking into whether measures like Fourier Power that John added, or another one I have in mind (not yet added) might work for the Moon or Sun.
If anyone wants to try and report back, please give a shot at focusing on the Moon with the Fourier Power measure and report back (bad weather here). You'd definitely want to make sure that you're not overexposed--we expect that Fourier Power will not work well with overexposed/clipped pixels.
