Guided by the Stars: My Walk with iOptron

So I am always looking for new stuff and happened to run into Dylan's video on QUARCS. I joined up on Discord and tested out the image but it didn't work on my ASIAIR modded RPi5 but it did work on the stock ASAIR Pro. The big deal here is QUARCS will run from a...

Yup, I am back at it again with another installment of the ASIAIR PRO & Plus RPi models supporting ASCOM. The first video I did I was able to get everything to work but it wasn't perfect so I pulled the video. This time I have everything working. Mind you it's not...
