Ratings and reviews

Hoping for improvements. The GUI is nicely done. Currently, I cannot get any sort of control with my Sony A7S or my Canon 450D, even though they are detected. I keep getting "Capture aborted" at preview stage. Also, despite an investment in an expensive regulated 3.5A power supply, the app is still very unstable. It disconnects often at random. So I hope this will get improved to make the Stellarmate OS worth its price.

I have a RPI48GB with external antenna and rock solid Wi-Fi connection and the app drops and won't reconnect to the Pi consistently. I got a test session running and then the app lost connection and wouldn't reconnect. Was working perfectly for a while and then just done. Very disappointed as was looking for this to complement my ASIAirs for my non-ZWO equipment. I think the complex authorization modules when connecting really don't help with the apps stability or ability to reconnect easily.

So far this app and the telescope controll box have been a disappointment. The stellarmate pro says its connected to my ZWO AM5 mount (USB) but it does not move the mount in any direction or to Park position. My AM5 is running v1.3.7 firmware. The auto focus routine moves the focuser way too far for each test photo and so has failed fails to find focus about half the time. I star from the previous sessions near focus point each time. I am used to being able to set the number of EAF steps...
