This is my second time trying KStars. The only thing that impresses me about it is that it runs on a Mac. I'll move to Linux someday - it's a dream, we all need a dream.
For now, being totally new to INDI and KStars and CCDCiel, I'm looking for a total Mac configuration for my astrophotography. I HAVE to get off of Windows. I found ASTAP and N.I.N.A. to be somewhat helpful, but N.I.N.A. again only runs on Windows, and my sober 2 core 2014 Mac Mini can't handle some of the features in N.I.N.A. without crashing Windows. (Running Windows on a Mac using Parallels.) And now that I've upgraded the Mini to run Big Sur, even SharpCap is crashing unexpectedly.
Well, the first thing I've run into with KStars is configuring the interface to Gemini II (Losmandy Titan 50 mount). I don't see anything in the list for gemini other than lx200gemini. So right off, I'm stuck. Since you have Gemini II, maybe you can help me jump this first hurdle.
Thanks in advance.
