Odd Behavior Using Planetary and 5x

[Tbear]

Last night I was delayed using the clear night ( after almost a month ) by a strange behavior by BYE. 

I had been imaging a nebula for awhile then switched to Jupiter and the planetary menu. Jupiter was centered and I double clicked to lock the zoom frame and hit the 5x button getting ready to record  

 When I hit the 5x button, the zoom frame jumped towards the right hand lower corner of the screen then Jupiter disappeared and the entire viewing area went black. I unclicked the 5x and Jupiter was back and the zoom frame was centered around as normal. I did this several times.  ( I had used the 5x function in the frame and focus menu with no problem. ). I took a short video of this which is too big to send you, however I did take 3 screen grabs from the video to show you what happened and they are included. 
 

i finally shut the program down ( I don’t remember if I turned the camera off and on or not ) and when I rebooted the program all was normal. The only consequence was that I lost some precious clear sky time. 
 

Any idea what could have caused this. It never occurred before. Using the most current BYE. 
 

Thanks - Using and have always used a Canon 6m Mark ii

Saying you are using the latest BYE won't mean the same thing next year, after a new release. Please always report your version number, like 3.2.2.

If the zoom box is already locked in position, double-clicking on the image unlocks it. Then it follows the cursor.

You did not specify the version of the software, say you have the most current is not helpful/sufficient.

You did not specify the camera model you have.

Hard to provide advice without these 2

It’s BYE 3.2.2. And I’m well aware after using BYE for 6 months that the zoom box follows the cursor if it’s not locked. That wasn’t the issue.

This is pretty odd for sure.  Did you by any change touched the camera button to move the zoom location during that session?

I can't see anything off the top of my head that could cause this.

I imaged again last night without issue so let’s just blame it on some cyber gremlins. I’ll get back to you if it recurs.

The zoom location is provided by the camera. It looks like for some reason the real location reported by the camera was no longer in sync with where BYE thought is was.  Very strange.

Thanks for your follow up comment. 
 

I don’t think I mentioned that when this strange behavior occurred, I could go back to the frame and focus window and with Jupiter centered I could hit the 5x button and it would zoom in perfectly centered. I would then go to the planetary menu, with Jupiter perfectly centered I would hit the 5x button and the zoom box would shift and the image would vanish. 
 

As I said, after rebooting BYE (and I wish I could recall if turned the camera on and off ) it worked fine and it was fine the subsequent night. Haven’t been out since.
