Ratings and reviews

To make something complicated (like Nina) to be this simple to use... Two words: Wow! There are two things that I find buggy: 1. The dialog box can't be closed. 2. The app worked fine the first time, but didn't work the second time I was trying to use it - until I deleted the found, and supposedly working "instances*, from the previous session, and restarted the instance. 3. The Dialog box is still there. can't close it. ^_^

I am unable to completely close the "What's new" dialog box that appears when the app starts after latest update. Tapping the close 'X' button does not close the window and make app nearly unusable (minimize dialog works).

On this last update it always disconnects , and it is not usable at all even though I have a good connection to the modem and to the internet. Still good ongoing work worth of attention * If I were sincere it would probably have 1* because a few moments ago, while I was slewing my 2000€ harmonic drive, the app disconnected and mount kept slewing until almost collided with my tripod extension but since I was present I turned the mount off manually. This is also ClearSky fault, limit didn't work

What’s new

Fix: All Instances are now able to be discovered
