Hello Jasem,

thanks for the reply. Good to know that the problem is known and is being worked on. I had already thought something along these lines.
Because I am mobile and often leave the radius of my wlan, my phone has to reconnect quite often, which meant that the problem sometimes occurred several times per night.

Best regards
Jonas

Hello together,

does anyone else know the problem that in the middle of the session suddenly the profile changes to simulators. I have this problem for a while now and guess that it's related to the app. It usually happens when I start the app during a session and connect to the Stellarmate. The problem does not occur every time, but often enough that it drives me crazy. After all, i have to reconnect everything every time, set the sequences again, get PHD2 running again and so on. Last night I controlled the stellarmate exclusively through the noVNC-connection via the browser and the problem did not occur, on the other hand I use stellarmate just because of the app. I have already reinstalled the OS and reinstalled the App (Android - Google Pixel 6), but the problem still occurs. Now I have no more ideas what to do. Does anyone else have these problems and possibly a solution?

Many greeting
Jonas

Hello,
the mainscope and the guidescope are selected in the equipment profile. But I think I have found a solution for the delay between the captures: I reduced the default value for the "Dialog timeout" (Settings --> Ekos) of 60 seconds to 0 seconds. Now, there are only about 5-10 seconds between the captures. Is that normal?
Unfortunately, I discovered other problems during the further test of the software. When I record a video (in the app via the video camera icon) and then stop the recordig (or after the set time), I can not take photos anymore (Error: Cannot take exposure while streaming/recording is active). I have to close the equipment profile every time and open it again to take a picture after a videorecording. To set Videostream and Videorecording off in the INDI Control Panel didn't help. Further, if I activate streaming, I cant stop it anymore, so that I have to close the equipment profile again. Are there any known solutions for this? 
Thanks Jonas

Hello everyone, I bought Stellarmate last week and tried it today with my QHY163M. However, the test was not successful. The main problem was that more than a minute passed between each capture, so that a sequence of 10 captures - each 5 second long - lasted almost half an hour... With my ZWO ASI120 everything worked fine. Maybe it is interesting, that there were two warnings after each capture: "Telescope aperture is missing" and "Telescope focal lenght is missing". Is there Data missing, which causes a problem with data processing after each capture? Did anyone have a similar problem and can help me to fix it? Thanks and clear sky Jonas
