An update to my current favorite imaging platform has been released. In this release there’s a bunch of 3.0 fixes as well as a hand full of new features.

- Fixes to the scheduler to cover some multi-object multi-night scheduling.
- Ring-field focusing, an improvement to star selection methods for focusing.
- Updates to the meridian flip code.
- Huge updates to the [official documentation](https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/extragear-edu/kstars/index.html?ref=macobservatory.com).
- Polar alignment routines for non-GOTO mounts.
- Live view for DSLR’s so you can now focus easier.
- A host of other random fixes and improvements.

**Quick note for Mac users:**there’s a bug with offline plate solving in this release, and is expected to be fixed soon.
