Re: Asiair problems

Re: Asiair problems

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working

Re: New Stellarmate
I do like realvnc on the raspberry pi, but I have to say that the built-in vnc on Ubuntu works faster on the mele. The only potential issue I see see is battery performance -- I haven't tested it yet,
