Firecapture works with SM X, so you have a great piece of software for planetary imaging and you have Ekos/Kstars for everything else (deep sky and live stacking). It would probalby be easier to try and learn Firecapture that to have your mini PC set up with two SSDs and two operating systems.

If Windows were activated on the mini PC and then you installed SM X, you may be able to reinstall Windows by contacting user support. As I found out by searching on internet, "No, you cannot transfer the OEM key to another computer. Manufacturers use these keys to install Windows on any prebuilt PC." So I just activated my Windows copy on the mini PC I bought and then installed SM X. Hopefully I could install it again if I decide to return to Windows on the same mini PC.

Hi all,
I'm using Stellarmate with PHD2. My mount is iOptron HAE29 with Player One Uranus and Mars-M II cameras. When using Stellarmate, KStars is correctly showing the mount set at zero position and pointing (in this example) to celestial pole. But when I try to use PHD2 Guiding Assistant, it shows it pointing to +90 deg (correct) and meridian offset of 133 degrees (wrong, it should be 180 degrees). Please see the screenshot:

Same equipment connected to Windows PC show correct coordinates in PHD2.
