Hey Marco,

Try using Port 11880 and UDP. That could do the trick.

Great feature!
Do you think you could implement a full screen mode for fits viewer? I’m streaming the fits viewer through Apple TV to my tv for eaa and would like to get rid of these bars on top.

Thanks ihoujin,
Im aware that this is possible for the scheduler tab. Im mostly using the capture tab in ekos as I’m doing eaa, so no need for complex schedules…

Snapsan created a new topic ' Auto plate solving after slew?' in the forum. 3 years ago

I’m wondering if there is the option to let Ekos automatically plate solve a target after slewing (similar to ASIAIR auto enter feature). If there is no such Feature I would love to see this in a future update.

Do you guys think it would be possible to block one position on the filter wheel to make it act as a shutter for dark frames?
Haven’t bought one yet and I’m not sure whether you could tell StellarMate to switch to a specific filter wheel position before taking a dark frame.

What do you guys think?

Seems to be working good. What I discovered so far:

Dialog boxes for covering the shutter are popping up behind the Ekos tab and Fits Viewer (when open).

Im using Skywatcher Alt Az driver 1.2, Indi 1.8.8. It appears to me that it applies to all targets.

I have an issue using PlateSolving with my 10“Flextube Dobsonian. When the mount gets fairly close to the desired destination (let’s say off by a 1000) and it is trying to slew closer to the center, more often than not, it wont get considerably closer to the center even after 10 or more iterations... Accuracy is set to 200.The only thing I could think of causing this issue is poor backlash settings (currently set to: 22 arc sec on alt and az) but playing around with the numbers didn’t give me better results...

Any ideas?

Snapsan created a new topic ' StellarMate update unusable' in the forum. 3 years ago

Hey everybody,

I’m running into issues with the latest kstars and StellarMate iOS app update.

Since I updated the mount (skywatcher alt az drivers) won’t react if I click unpark. If I press park afterwards it will slew down until the mount hits the rocker box.
Second issue is the StellarMate app on my iOS devices( latest update): the Ekos tab is only showing a picture of a nebula but no buttons whatsoever...

Everything worked fine on the old StellarMate app and k stars 3.4.3

Can anybody relate or has ideas of how to solve the issue?

Thanks and kind regards

Hey everybody,

I just updated from Kstars 3.4.3 to the latest version 3.5.0
On my StellarMate app (also latest version), all the controls from the Ekos tab disappeared. So now it’s completely unusable. (VNC still works, so I can operate kstars from there)
In addition to this there must have been a change in the skywatcher alt az drivers as the mount is not responding when clicking the unpark button.

Luckily I had a copy of kstars 3.4.3 on another set card. Everything works fine on this version...

Has anybody else had similar experiences or now how to fix things?
