I’m using RP4 with Astroberry via VNC from an iPad for two months now and it’s a very powerful setup. I connect the RP4 to my 2.4Ghz home network and the response time is very tolerable (it doesn’t interfere with my workflow). But I think that Maritim is the kind of user for who Asiair Pro is a better solution.

I know, inside is the same hardware and almost the same software but there is a big difference: the user don’t interact with this software. Instead he uses a native mobile app running on his powerful phone/table and only the needed data is sent from and to the RP4. This reduces some orders of magnitude de amount of data that must be transferred. Also, the user’s taps never leave his device giving him a felling of speed and feedback that VNC never will provide.

I love the control that a full Ekos provides to me, but I miss a lot the ASIAir client interface.
