Hang in there Bill, your observations are correct I have delayed any photography for months while I waited for the Gemini upgrade to be finalized. I even sent my G2mini across Australia to be checked and reprogrammed.Here is my Guiding summary - 1) KStars version 3.5.7 Stable on my iMac is just perfect using Stellarmate 1.7.22) when using PHD guiding, any version, on my Ubuntu 22.04.3 and Stellarmate 1.7.2... Just perfect3) Ubuntu 22,04.3 with Stellarmate and using KStars Guiding is unpredictable, problamatic and sub standard to the point of being unusable.

I am extremely grateful for the hard work done by developers and researchers but since Oct last year and the new ver 3.6. This also coincides with Gemini modification that were finalised / or not finalised in July 2023. I just see it as unusable for
