Hi,

Is there a way to have a ser2net type of functionality in indi/stellarmate? For my celestron telescope it would be good to be able to connect the NexRemote remote control software to perform the intial alignment. For most remote stuff the SkySafari module works good but it cannot handle direct mount specific (celestron) commands as I understand (align/firmware update etc)

I saw this comment in the changelog:
Added preliminary support to TCP server connection for all mounts.

Somehow I think that may be related but do not find any info about it?

From last night I got the conclusion that it is neccessary to do a "mount" alignment in order to sync the alignment in the EKOS module. Before that the coordinates from the astrometry solver didn't get transfered to the real telescope direction. After a first "mount" alignment it was possible to run all from EKOS.
