AstroBerry hot spot no longer shows up in Wifi list as it says above. i did get in a few times then tried to connect to my home wi-fi, then that was it no more astroberry hot spot in the list .
rebooted  3 times and that was it, no results... maybe reinstall everything ?.... im new at this as of today, not a good start.

This absolutely normal. Hotspot is started only if no other network connection is active.
After connecting Astroberry to any network use this network instead.

i guess i wasnt clear enough, there is no Astroberry to connect to anywhere on my network, not on the PC not on my Linksys router , not in the browser, not in VNC . not @ 10.42.0.1 . and not at "astroberry.local" notta nothing. and yet its running here beside me, with no transmitting wifi signal anymore.
the hotspot that i had to login for 3 times is no longer anywhere to be found. other wise i would log back in by all the other methods. so now what?
hope that helps.

Formatted everything re-flashed everything and would'nt you know it, im back in the astroberry.
now to solve how to connect the actual internet from inside the astroberry, i did use the make new wifi connection , but nope that doesn't work.
and there is only the Celestron GPS driver for my AVX, not sure that will work.

I experienced this as well, but my limited knowledge of Linux made it a bit tougher to deal with. Right-Clicking on the Network WiFi icon on the top right and selecting Edit Connection should show the Hotspot.

I now have three connections that tests all three and connect to the most appropriate This is don't by setting the Priority in the General Tab so now if I am home it connects to my Gateway as a first priority as it is the most common then it will try to connect to my Mobile phone if I have the rig in a dark sky location if either fails then goes to Hotspot for offline usage if I am in a mobile dead zone.

If you have not deleted the Hotspot, it should still be there.

thanks Malcom, where can i attach pics to show hat i see, this way it makes it easy for others to help?
ok i found it. i did not delete the hotspot but made a new connection, but once i log out , i cant get back in , and now i know why. BUT, on my PC its not in the list anymore ( new astrroberry wifi con) so how do i access it now?
do i need to use my browser and use the routers new Linux IP address, cause it is on the router list, other wise i am lost also at that point i can no longer back to astroberry Hotspot, so had to reinstall it al.
just need a little know howto nudge.

When you configured it to connect to an existing access point, did it show connected?
If so, then you will need to look in that access points connected device list to find the IP address assigned.
