I have a Sky-Watcher AZ-GTI mount that I'm using in EQ mode with Stellarmate on an Rpi4 4GB, Kstars/Ekos on a Win10 PC. I can connect to the mount super easily using the "AZ-GTI Alt-AZ" driver, but not the "AZ-GTI" driver or the EQMod Driver. When connected, I can have the mount set to and start-up in Home position correctly, but when I pick a star in Kstars and slew to, the mount goes to a very wrong location. I have my location coordinates and correct UTC time set in the driver and in Kstars/Ekos. It seems like it's a Geo-coordinate or time issue to me, but nothing I've tried has worked. Then it dawned on me, maybe the driver I'm using is for alt-az only (it is titled alt-az), and it doesn't know the mount is in EQ mode? What is the correct driver to use for EQ mode? Any other ideas? Thanks guys!
