I noticed that others report a similar issue. I just migrated up to the latest EKOS/KSTARS build (StellarMateOS 1.5.1) and have tested on both a RPi3 and RPi4.

Sometimes it does this just s few minutes after acquiring a target and sometimes tens of minutes later but it does not stay in tracking mode for even an hour. This is a behaviour I have not seen before. In the past I used mostly the RPi3 and found it to be "rock-solid". Any wisdom out there on the issue?
