Stellarmate Polar alignment - do you need ekos live?

Hi all,

I'm looking at something to replace my asiair (because I want to try some non-supported capture hardware) and stumbled on stellarmate. Looking at the features list though, it doesn't mention the polar alignment assistatnat at all under stellarmate OS, only user Ekos Live. So If I buy stellarmate OS does it not come with the polar alignment assistant? I've craeted an astroberry install already so I can always go ahead and use that, I just like the idea of having a tablet front-end like I had on the asiair so stellarmate seemed a better choice as I don't have to mess about with a laptop for vnc etc.

Thanks in advance

Nope, polar alignment assistant is part of the plate solving module of EKOS and works fine as a stand-alone.

Hi,

in the new app (e.g, for iOS) there is a polar alignment. I haven't tried it yet but it is not linked with Ekos live. If you are not using the app but the "desktop" application then are all the features you need. Ekos comes with several polar alignment tools.
