Astroberry / KStars can somebody nudge me in the right direction ?

Please forgive me, the older I get the thicker I seem to become.

Ever since I started imaging I have only used APT and I must be honest I found it pretty simple to setup and to use, and if an issues there is a really helpful and easy to understand manual.

I am now experimenting with a RPi 4 running Astroberry.

I am sure it is easy to use but I really can't seem to find a comprehensive guide to setting it up for the first time let alone actually using it in a session.

I have found some info that tells you the basics bit is there a good comprehensive guide to using this anywhere that I have missed ?

I don't think there's really a single document for this. The best I've found are Jasem's tutorial series on StellarMate, since that uses KStars/Ekos a great deal of it will be apposite. Written info on the various modules: https://stellarmate.com/support/ekos.html. Video tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1x4aSvnUVtBNafANsD_Izg.

Once you've been through it enough times it really does become pretty intuitive, but it's not exactly self-explanatory, is it? Using the simulators to "dry-run" things without having to connect and troubleshoot the hardware is a HUGE win.

And of course there are several of us here who will be happy to answer questions.
