Thank you for the quick response. I am trying sooo hard to come up to speed on Sterllarmate, Kstars, EKOS, and INDI. I really should RTFM (Read the Manual) the problem was mine. I could see the EQMod Mount centered on the North Pole, but my location was in the Southern Hemisphere!!! So when Kstars starts up It is defaulted to the Northern Hemisphere and centered on Polaris. but I finally restarted Kstars, and it had remembered my New Zealand Location, and alerted me that my location is below the horizon, Would you like to use the default location, or use the specified location. As soon as I said use my present location, the EQMod Mount was centered on the South Pole and all was right with the world.. My bad.

a couple more questions:

1. Kstars is loaded on the Raspberry Pi 3B (Ras Pi) One USB port is connected to a four port USB hub which has the 1. Mount connected via an EQDIR cable, 2. one port to my ZWO filter wheel, and 3. / 4. two ports connected to ASI 120 mini, and ASI 178mm cameras. If i connect my HDMI monitor and a keyboard and mouse to the Ras PI I was able to control all components. When I connected my Dell Laptop to the Ras PI and loaded the Kstars program on my Windows 10 laptop, and I could create the same equipment on the Dell Profile. My question is which Kstars is operating? Can they interact?

2, Does Stellarmate allow a Remote Desktop connection to a Windows laptop?

Thank you for all your help. I have been working with Jasem too, please give him my regards and assure him that swapping out the ASIAIR 32 GB SD card operating system, and putting in the Stellarmate OS, worked as advertised. I am very impressed that the Stellarmate OS remembers all the last setup equipment and seems to be very compatible with all my mounts and ZWO components. Now pray for clear skies. and no satellites

thanks again

Leo
