Had a go at Stellarmate. Using the Stellarmate software updater did not do the trick though, entering the correct commands into the terminal I finally did manage to get the new drivers and my Sesto Senso 2 seemed to work perfectly. However, in the process something else broke and my imaging camera(ZWO ASI533MC) and guide camera(SVBONY SV305M Pro) stopped working as their drivers instantly crashed upon starting the INDI server in Ekos.

But... The worst part is how horribly slow Stellarmate was to use over VNC compared to using Astroberry over VNC, which is incredibly snappy whereas Stellarmate is more like watching a laggy and non-responsive slideshow.

So, if I could get my Astroberry installation up to snuff, that would be great.

Yeah, I might have to go for downgrading the firmware in my device. Although I would also like to be able to also use my small Windows PC for controlling my gear, and there ASCOM requires the latest firmware on the Sesto Senso 2.

All of this fiddling with different software, drivers and firmware to even get things to work is so incredibly frustrating.
