Hello everyone, I am interested in buying the Mount ASI AM5, and on Saturday night I went to a friend of mine who owns it so I could test its operation.
I was NOT able to get it to work with my 2015 Intel MacBook Air and KStars. I wasted the whole evening with no results.
Basically after I created a profile, I made the connection and the Mount seems to be connected,
so Ekos sees it, however at the bottom of the window where everything that is happening is reported, two error strings appeared in red color and
the mount never worked. Not knowing English, I did not understand what these two errors were and could not use the translator,
because we did not have internet there, however convinced that by uploading the log file everything would be reported, instead by uploading these files the two errors I cannot read them.
I make a point: as a version of KStars I use 3.5.9 Stable, because with the more updated versions I have problems, so I don't know if this is to blame.
Can you tell me something, because if it's not my fault that I didn't know how to get it up and running, it occurs to me that there may be problems with the Mac and KStars, so I would avoid buying it.
Thank you
