I would like an option just to plate solve an image and do nothing. Right now you have to "load and slew," but sometimes I just want to know where this previous taken image is in the sky but not slew the scope to that location. So I would like to "load, solve and do nothing option." There may be an option to do this already by disabling slewing on the mount but I am not sure.

I would also like to interface other programs thru the Indi Server, so I can run these programs on a laptop remotely but access the equipment thru the server running on the Rpi at the scope. Specifically the program I would like to interface to is ZWO's ASIStudio, which has good interface to run planetary imaging using video capture mode. I know this utility exists in EKOS, but I don't think it has access to all the capability of the ZWO camera's (ROI, etc). I know people are working on enhancing the planetary imaging capability of EKOS and there maybe other ways to access the equipment remotely with Indi, but I am not aware of it.

thanks,
Ron
