Evenings have been busy, but went live briefly on a couple of nights for testing. A bit laggy. Stellarium particularly so. Might be WiFi. The Mac mini/windows dual boot is using old legacy drivers for the WiFi n. And can’t get drivers to work for the nvidia 320 (known issue). I had an old usb WiFi AC dongle that I’ve now installed, and will see how that goes.

I have two methods for doing this currently:

1. AZ EQ6 and asi 294....SW WiFi.....syn scan mobile WiFi ascom driver.....sharp cap+stellarium scope+stellarium.

2. AZ EQ6 and asi294....starsense for SW/Celestron box and Hand controller.....usb serial to Mac mini....Celestron ascom driver.....sharpcap and wifiscope.....sky safari.

With both options I Remote Desktop into the Mac mini for sharpcap at least.
I’m surprised at how easy it was to get everything to talk! Ascom is pretty amazing. Number 2 is my preferred option so far as it gives me back sky safari and star sense.

Thoughts would be most welcome.
