Pixelated tracking star

[Günter Knerr]

I am using the current version 2.6.13.dev7.
Tracking at 1300 mm for a telescope with a focal length of 4200 mm. The mount is a 10micron GM4000 HPSII and runs for up to 10 minutes without tracking. PHD2 is required  for subframes of up to 20 minutes.
My question concerns the display (attachment) of the tracking star in the magnification. What did I accidentally change that makes it appear so pixelated? It wasn't like that before and I can't find the cause. This makes it difficult or impossible for PHD2 to find the center point and keep it precise.
The camera noise is turned off. Bin is 1x1, camera QHY 5III-585C with 2.9 μm pixels, latest program version reloaded. No success.
Thank you very much for your help!

See the text above the image that says. “Click the image to see the actual pixels”. Click the image again and it will revert to interpolated.

So easy when you can read. But in the dark it's sometimes difficult. Thanks again.

sure happy to help Günter. 

Yes, the text is quite small and can be easily overlooked
