Correct, this is only an issue on V5.001. All other keypads should be fine.

Fwiw...

I looked in my other keypad which I just re-loaded the DB (after a battery change) about a week back with (iirc) 4.19.3. (this is a keypad for a CP3/CP4).

Pollux looked correct.   So I think it might be a bug only in the new keypad.

Howdy,

 

I took a closer look at the database around Pollux. 5 stars are affected. Here is a table of the affected stars in the database, and the coordinates that they currently have. As a workaround for now, you can use the star on the left to slew to the star on the right. Note that Algiedi is correct in the database.

Coordinates go to:

Thanks for helping us find and confirm this bug, everyone! We will work on a fix for this and it will be in the next release of the V5 keypad firmware.
