Re: indi driver update.
The asiair is a raspberry pi. If you're comfortable doing so, you can load any rpi distro including astroberry, stellarmate etc. It's a bit of a time and effort investment though. Just use a separate

Re: RA axis movement or wiggle
With lighter winds, I'd check the inertia being placed about the DEC axis and minimize that.? A 5-inch refractor can increase the inertia significantly about the declination axis.? Dampening a large

Re: RA axis movement or wiggle
