Objects drift out of view in Sky Safari

[TwoPi]

Sorry if I'm being a bit dim, but when I zoom right in to an object I find that it fairly quickly drifts out of view on the screen. This is particularly obvious if I'm zoom into a section of the moon that I'm currently observing.

I've got the compass mode switched off and the object selected. I guess it's keeping the alt / az constant and so the object appears to move because that's what happens in real life!

Is there a way of switching on 'tracking mode' so the object stays centred on the screen?

Thanks,

Not sure but try selecting centre object before zooming

I've tried that it and unfortunately it doesn't work. You can repeated re-centre and it works temporarily but then the object starts drifting again.

Strange... It does on mine (sky safari android)

Click on object required then click centre, then zoom

Aaahhhh, I see. Ok, if I search for the Moon and then press Centre followed by the + button to zoom in, you're absolutely right Knobby, it does indeed stay put.

However, if I then pan (ever so slightly), for example to a different crater on the Moon, it immediately starts to drift. Which I suppose makes sense: it thinks you're no longer interested in the Moon.

I also notice that if I use the 'two fingered pinch' to zoom in, it drifts straight away. If I press Centre again it stops.

Does your Android version do the same thing and if so, I guess this is a limitation? It's a shame, because it makes it fairly difficult to observe the Moon at high magnification and relate what I'm seeing to Sky Safari, unless I constantly correct the drift - which gets annoying after 30 seconds!
