I don't understand why you can't align with DSC ? You can calibrate the alt-az mount on sky with sync in skysafari. Isn't it equivalent ?

Sorry yes you can align, but not slew.

Skysafari is working with the simulator and connected local; beautiful. Does this work with indiwebserver on RPI3?

Setup used: the RPI3 KStars/Ekos connects to the indiwebserver running on the same RPI3. The config is remote using localhost:7624, and indiwebserver is on 8624.

Error:
2017-04-26T21:41:31 Failed to start profile on remote INDI Web Manager.
2017-04-26T21:41:30 Establishing communication with remote INDI Web Manager...

The Watchdog and Astrometry AUX, seem to work when using indiwebserver. Setting PHD2 for the guider also results in the same above error too.

Make sure you are using latest KStars. The PHD2 issue was fixed a while ago.

Great work!
Even the align function works.
But it seems that with nexstarevo driver I cannot manually slew the scope from skysafari by on-screen buttons.
What should I change in the nse driver to properly react to the movement and speed commands from the middleware.?

You shouldn't need to change anything. Take a look here:
github.com/indilib/indi/blob/master/libi...iliary/skysafari.cpp

Start form Line #490. It simply set ON_COORD_SET to TRACK and then send the coords.

The slew speed setting is working fine but the slew buttons on SkySafari screen do nothing. Judging from the source there is no support for M[eswn] slew commands in the driver. Would it be possible to implement them?

Ah okay, I must have missed those. Are they they arrows on the sides I presume?

Exactly. That will make tablet/phone/pc another nice client for indi. It would be better if they implement native indi protocol driver but as is it is already very useful. Actually, this motivates me even stronger to continue nse driver development. The tablet control at the scope makes it very practical and makes a nice controller from the rpi connected to a scope - and you do not need additional screen/connections to the scope.

This is very cool! Thank you.

I have not had a night to test this yet, due to clouds.

Does Skysafari also update the rotation via plate solve?

I'm not sure about rotation via plate solve? How does that work exactly?

I just added NSWE control support to the SkySafari driver.
