Hi,

Without going into the many variations of programmes and settings, I found out what my main problem was: the high susceptibility of the WiFi (inbuilt at AzGTi, SkyWatcher WiFi adapter for SkyWatcher Flextube) connection to interference. These problems manifested themselves in "no connection" or similar warnings, sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 1 hour ...

Since I use a cable ("Skywatcher Teleskop AZ-GTI Mount PC Connect EQMOD Kabel für PC zu Hand Control Port Kabel direkt (16ft/500cm)") all the issues have gone.
What works:
AzGTi with Synscan app pro 1.19.12 and 2.4.5
SkyWatcher Flextube 10" with Synscan app pro 1.19.12 only (for unknown reason 2.4.5 does not get a connection).
All this under W10 with the hub of ASCOM 6.4.1.2695, CDC, camera control sw.
