I enjoy a bit of an adventure with software but trying to get KStars/Ekos up and running on my Mac has proved too much for me! Where the software was telling me where the scope was pointing was one big issue that I struggled to resolve (despite checking dates and locations in every conceivable location), and then the real killer was getting my guide cam to work reliably. The Prostar LP-guide camera connects in the Windows version of PHD2 as an Altair camera just fine and although I could get an image from it in the Mac version it then rather quickly failed. I got the feeling it ‘could’ all work but using virtualbox and a Windows virtual machine is so much easier - ironically much more Mac like!
