Severe lag when streaming from camera

Hi,

Trying to get focus, but if I hit the stream button there is quite a bad lag (5-10 seconds) between what I do and what appear on screen. Obviously this makes it extremely hard to focus. :P Is this standard? The stream box says its getting approximately 11 fps, but I'm seeing more like one frame every two seconds.

This is from a ZWO ASI120, connected via USB3 to a Pi4, then over wifi to my laptop running kstars.

Cheers,

Darren.

OK, couple of questions:

If you run kstars on the Pi4 and use VNC and/or RDP do you get the same problem?

Is your ASI120 the USB3 or the USB2 version (The ASI120MM/MC-S are USB3 and the non "-S" are USB2)?

If it is the USB2, are you using the "-compatible" firmware (as discussed in the ZWO forum)

WiFi speed will degrade with distance and obstacles between the Access Point and the Client, have you tried using an Ethernet cable?
