I didn't add anything and mine was the full Radek Image - but yours is RPI4 ?????

was your astroberry a full image download of astroberry or did you do the Astroberry install from a base raspbian image ? i just ran mine again and it fails for the right reason - it was installed. =========== sudo apt-get install libraw-bin Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done libraw-bin is already the newest version (0.19.2-2). =========== The other diff is this is on a rpi3b+ not a 4 note - if this is a live system do a backup first - mine is a test system I am currently talking to Patrick C of Skychart/CCDciel fame about trying to find a solution for CCDciel and I thank I will cast a question to Han of ASTAP.

Alternative buy one these or just use a RPI to provide hotspot when off site (or home) . https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/networking/network-routers-and-switches/routers/tp-link-tl-wr902ac-wifi-cable-fibre-router-ac-750-dual-band-10173672-pdt.html?store=2276&&istCompanyId=bec25c7e-cbcd-460d-81d5-a25372d2e3d7&istFeedId=2928af81-b29b-476c-a180-ac5de265a98e&istItemId=wxaailmla&istBid=t&srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~1014 (PLA) NETWORKING - Adaptive~1014 (PLA) NETWORKING - Adaptive ad group~Exact&mctag=gg_goog_7904&kwid=GOOGLE&device=c&ds_kids=92700036869212797&tgtid=1014 (PLA) NETWORKING - Adaptive&&gclid=Cj0KCQiAz53vBRCpARIsAPPsz8WsLWceCAfs_PeKrdPzVmIg_XUJmVWKxpieUqKHcuGlHvjAFHnJkVwaAr8CEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds https://www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/wifi-router/tl-wr902ac/ It has a button - on/off and a hotspot/router/mobile switch LOL

Poss List - 1. JNOW instead of J2000 or visa versa - As I understand it (I do it just because) all the software you use should use the same Epoch - So APT,Stellarium/Stellarium Scope,EQMOD (even though I think I read (misread) somewhere it doesn't care !) etc. 2. Date and time including daylight saving same. 3. APT is showing a cropped image in its display where as Stellarium is showing the image as per full scale 4. Bug in Apt or Stellarium - check forums 5. Its correct and just not what you expected. 🙂 But I dont use Stellarium (I use Sky Chart) so maybe someone will come up with a correct reply for you 🙂

Yes this is true and the fix is to clear out the saved model as you say,delete offending bad syncs (really your kidding) or just create a new smaller triangle of points which can work. The former,total reset, being the easiest. I do get this problem very rarely and the advantages outweighs the problems - for me anyway. I get consistently,but not 100%, sub 4 sec platesolving using some horrible software called ASTAP LOL 🙂 Even with Platesolving (any product) you can see the image dead centre and the Platesolver doesn't solve and starts scanning around the sky. It occurs ,for me,with images of bright Clusters - guess its a case of "can't see the stars for the cluster" LOL - sorry a pun . Changing parameters might work but thats not any use when you are doing a sequence ,especially unmanned! Of course an out of balance mount/scope will cause the same effect as no matter how the mount tries to move it cant and normally just produces the same RA/DEC - this causes a looping effect until the number of tries,in platesolving, is reached. Overall Platesolve still a "god send" .

if you are using eqmod then creating a triangle around you object helps - this does not have to a small triangle of solved images

no local vnc(i.e. not cloud based) or rdp needs the internet they just need to be on the same network (e.g. 192.168.1.x ) or know which gateway to go via. Microsoft can create its own HOTSPOT but cant remember if it required 2 network connections - very long time since I have used Hotspot on M/S. If your Phone can create a valid hotspot without the Internet and ,for easiness, create DHCP server etc then that should work. Its all about the networking settings !!!!

settings in apt platesolve - acceptable goto error

Does any one know if the "older" neq6 models were different? Perhaps a cheeky call to FLO might help as they say 🙂 (keywords "enables all") or an email to sky watcher importer. Sky-Watcher's SynScan Wifi adapter enables all their Go-To mounts and telescopes to be operated wirelessy from a smartphone or tablet using the SynScan or SynScan Pro app or, from a PC via ASCOM. Easily connects to the mount’s hand control port via one of the supplied RJ12 -> RJ45 or RJ45 -> RJ45 cables. Alternative send the Wifi modeule back to RVO and just get a EQDIR adapter cable with DB9 connector (should inform shop its for a "older" NEQ6 Pro) from mount to a laptop - you can then use synscan app pro or AScom / eqmod by wire with no hand set. Is that cable from the mount to the handset an original ? - still looks dodgy to me and if you have been having problems slew maybe its at fault .

The ESP_51CA52 is possibly the device but not running correctly. 😞 Get back to RVO they have been paid !

perhaps this will help - if not you could have blown the wifi adpter plugging it in wrongly. it is when you follow the instructions 🙂 Always think they should provide pictures on how to plug it in. 🙂

tell your phone (hope its not an apple) to scan wifi networks - Have you loaded Synscan app onto the phone ?

What make is this dongle - looks DIY to me. Plus whats the point of plugging a Wifi dongle into the handset? Sorry please explain what you are trying to do ? It is technically possible to have a "component" that allows Wifi and also connects the handset serially(TTL mount port) which in urn connects to he mount DB9 port - so long as the voltages are correct ! the handset itself uses 12v supplied from the mount power if required. Why do you want to do it this way? Also ask the "manufacturer" to state requirements for the Handset firmware!

Plus 1 - but I use asi120mm(oldest version) - but again no problems with the miniguide scope. But it does need a anti dew heater in this weather even with a mini self built shield!

Any ways - thanks for your hard work Radek - might come round and buy you a beer or a cherry vodka next year - might be going to Katawice. See the "homeland" LOL

Pity the Indi set up for Focuser / Mount and a few other non camera components arent using MQTT IMO - but cant have everthing 🙂

Ascom are pretty up todate - have to be they rely on Microsoft .net etc - but who knows - still it all works.:-)

Ah good - but is it MQTT for it all ? mine is including GPS data nicked from your virtual set up lol Never bother with the weather look out the window and check cloud/rainfall radar - Weather forecast are rubbish for UK - too complicated micro climates I guess

ok did reinstall clean etc now virtual GPS ok thanks - will need to test real gps later!

Sorry too busy doing something called Astrophotography - well EAA version - is clear and cold here

Well I was then it all goes blank at the bottom , map disappears and I am back in Warsaw Poland after reload frame. So maybe it was left over from when the real GPS had been running !

More to the point it does effect times and slewing. Just stopped my GPS and start Virtual again and It get 0 on the GPS info - all the other places - i.e. bottom are correct - even if they are in DMS not DD format and arn't showing N or W etc 😈 Is anyone else getting lots of disconnects after the update when using NOVNC - ok on REALVNC client !

whats a 100 miles when you are dealing with Astro distances - LOL 🙂

Its virtual GPS and the software at the end of the branch doesn't know it - it thinks it came from a GPS device
