Do I have to use StellarMate App or can I control StellarMate using other methods?


StellarMate is probably the most verstile astrophotogaphy controller in the world. We offer multiple ways to control your equipment the way you prefer.

StellarMate App is only required for the intial setup of your device. Therefore, after you SCAN and connect to your StellarMate unit and the connection led turns green, your unit setup is complete.

You can then continue to use StellarMate App to control your unit, or select one (or more) of the following methods:

1. Download KStars on Windows/Mac/Linux and connect remotely to StellarMate.

2. Access StellarMate OS via VNC (using either Web VNC or VNC clients like RealVNC) or Rustdesk, and use KStars that is already running inside StellarMate.

3. Control it completely from EkosLive Online web interface.
