Hey guys!

I just wanted to give you an update: the software works perfectly! We are just currently struggling with the mount clock, since for accurate TLE-based tracking one needs a time accuracy of within 0.2s of UTC

Attached you find a video of our last acquisition, it's an upper stage:

A (kinda) related question I have, I was trying to add the functionality necessary to synchronize from Ekos with a button that sends the current system time (which should be close to UTC thanks to NTP on a properly configured computer) because the current "update time" of Ekos creates a pop-up which in the best case introduces a 1 second delay (while the user clicks away the pop-up. Is there a more elegant way to keep the mount time updated from Ekos?

Also another problem I had, I built the library from source after changing the 10micron driver (to include the changes I just mentioned) but Ekos did not show any changes, even after I uninstalled indi completely and reinstalled it with. Any idea what that could be?

Keep up the awesome work! Thanks in advance!
