Hi,

I'm waiting for a handset to be able to test it against Celestron Advanced GT mount here. So hopefully I can test this in a week or two.

I run system update today for Fedora using test repos and looks like my mount is working! I got proper response!

BUT! I am still getting an error about not getting mount firmware [WARNING] Failed to retrive firmware information.
This was not happening with previous versions
