rickbassham/ekos-web repository overview

⁠ekos-web

A simple web server and client that listens for a connection from KStars Ekos and provides an easy way to keep track of your astrophotography session from a small screen.

You can now control simple things in Ekos, like capturing a preview image, start/stop guiding, start/stop auto focus, sovle the current view, park/unpark the mount.

docker pull rickbassham/ekos-web:latest
docker run -p 3000:3000 -it rickbassham/ekos-web:latest

After you have it running, you can visit http://localhost:3000⁠ to view the page.

Now launch KStars and Ekos as usual, but now you'll need to connect to KStars Live in offline mode.

The username and password you use here don't matter, they are ignored by this app.

Now connect to you equipment in Ekos as usual and start your astrophotography session.

You can keep an eye on your equipment now on your smartphone or tablet by browsing to your imaging computer's address. For me, it would be http://rick-astrobuntupi:3000⁠.

Here are a few more shots with examples.
