Polar alignment could be better - by: gbeaton

I really like the polar alignment. Its one of the reasons I'm using Kstars. But it can be really annoying to use. The tiny little postage stamp image is hard to see, and the correction vector obscures the star I'm trying to use to correct the alignment, and the end of the correction vector is an "X" or a "+" that also obscures the star you are trying to place at that point. It would be better to use a circle so the star can be placed inside.

Also, the tool could tell the user which way he has to adjust the mount, north south east west. I haven't been out in a while - weather - but I think It just gives total error, and the graphics are so small and hard to read that I really have no idea which way to correct. Maybe a tutorial would clear this up but I haven't seen one address these issues.

Thanks
