Same issue here. My equipment:

  • KStars Version 3.6.6 Stable (Build: 2023-08-01T13:00:35Z)
  • Raspberry PI 4 (4 GB) with Ubuntu Mate 22.04.3 LTS
  • Mount: EQ6-R Pro
The "First mount rotation remaining degrees" are increasing instead of decreasing:
[2023-08-19T21:19:56.517 EDT DEBG ][     org.kde.kstars.ekos.align] - "First mount rotation remaining degrees:" 30
[2023-08-19T21:19:57.591 EDT DEBG ][     org.kde.kstars.ekos.align] - "First mount rotation remaining degrees:" 30.2626
[2023-08-19T21:19:58.662 EDT DEBG ][     org.kde.kstars.ekos.align] - "First mount rotation remaining degrees:" 32.3222
Logs are attached.

As a work-around, I found that checking the "Manual slew" box and manually slewing to the new position (using Mount Control from the "Mount" tab) lets me complete the polar alignment process.

Clear skies,
Axel
