Sorry to bother you again Jasem. Thought it would be easier to reply here than start a new thread. First of all just wanted to confirm that I can get everything connected with stellarmate OS flashed to the asi air both in ekos through VNC and in the stellarmate app. However I've now encountered a new problem. When I slew to a target the alignment is off by a lot and the scope actually starts going down below the horizon. I have a solid polar alignment (use sharpcap) and I'm using eqmod so ekos knows where the scope is parked. In kstars I can see it pointing at the SCP but as soon as I select a target (I use acrux normally for focus and plate solve) it just goes almost in the opposite direction.
As far as I know everything is set up correctly. I do not have a GPS dongle but I make sure that the time and location is accurate in kstars and that kstars is set to update time and location for everything. This problem also happens when I use the stellarmate app on android. I'm really not sure what is causing the problem. I know I should include logs for any support request and I can do that and open a ticket if that is easier for you. I'm just at work right now and I thought I would get in touch and see if its an easy fix. Looking to be a clear night tonight and I'd love to get some first light with the stellarmate.
appreciate any help with this.
PS I'd just like to say thank you to you and anyone else involved in stellarmate/ekos as you are the only platform that supports cameras outside of canon/nikon and dedicated astro cams. I had given up thinking that I could get a proper astro program to control my olympus camera but once I found out about stellarmate/ekos I've never been more excited to use my scope.

Hi Jasem,
I believe I have got it to work now, I re-installed everything and have managed to discover the device and register. I haven't tried connecting my gear yet, had to go to work but I will give it a shot when I get home. Thank you again for your help.

Thanks for your quick response Jasem, Yes it is with Android. I installed that APK and still no luck. If I want to connect over a PC I will need to use ekos correct? Or do you mean just through the web manager?

I have just attempted doing this today, what a coincidence! I was also over the asiair.
I have flashed stellarmate os and used that in the air, it's turning on and generating a hotspot fine. But It isn't being discovered in the app. Do you have an idea why this is happening? I have tried restarting everything and reconnecting to the hotspot but it just won't show. I've also tried manually connecting and using the ip address but that also gets an error.
I'm sure it will work I'm just not sure if I'm doing something wrong. I know the asiair defaults to 5ghz. Would that be the issue maybe?
Would really appreciate any ideas
