I will send a support request on my AZ-GTi/Stellarmate/Canon camera setup but I think it's unlikely to improve much. I'm using it 100% over VNC to my home Google mesh network. The connection is pretty reliable. The AZ-GTi and Canon communicate with Stellarmate over USB - I have the AZ-GTi USB dongle. The connections to that hardware is reliable. That said this camera/mount/computer setup has never worked well. Possibly it's me not finding the right step-by-step instructions, or misunderstanding what I have read, but it's never tracked correctly using Ekos and KStars. As I say, targets are out-of-frame in 20-30 minutes using KStars but stays in frame for 2-3 hours using SynScan. I haven't used Stellarmate in months as it seemed pointless until Paul resurrected this thread but from memory attempting to duplicate SynScan's 3 star alignment in KStars has never been accurate, and sadly Stellarmate has never correctly plate solved a single shot for me on the Raspberry Pi, but plate solving works fine on the same shots when I do it on my Linux machine.

I'm going to attempt to save any special configurations I added, such as NFS mount instructions and a couple of batch files, and then just load the OS from scratch on a new memory card.

Like Paul I pretty much consider the AZ-GTi to be a bust. I'm glad it works for Jasem but it certainly doesn't work here for me. I don't plan on buying any new hardware. If I did it wouldn't be SkyWatcher hardware. The couple of support requests I made with them on this mount resulted in F-U responses saying they don't support astrophotography on the AZ-GTi. It's a fun little mount with SynScan though.
