For each refresh the image shifts alternating between two star patterns.

Ah yes,

that's on my to-do list to clean up during the beta period. At the moment it chooses the brightest star in each frame and if two are very close in brightness it can keep switching between them. I want to make it 'sticky' so it stays with the chosen star unless it goes out of view.

cheers,

Robin
