> I'll try it on the indi driver for paramount tonight in ss7
The INDI driver is not mount specific and just needs IP/Port. Any Indi-Mount driver will work. You also do need clear skies to test this. Just an EKOS configuration with the mount driver and a network connection to SM. This drives the mount via the LX200 protocol. And gets its camera information also via Indi. As I said: this works, but not reliable. I also had problems connecting my DSC oder PiFinder which both do the same (LX200).

Not so fst it's a pretty good program.
I'll dig deeper and will also file a bug a SkySafari. I'll report.
