1. What is Ekos Live?
Ekos Live is a real-time web application that can be run from any browser. It
allows you to control many aspects of Ekos right from the browser. It is built
around material-ui from Google, so it is very friendly for mobiles & tablets on any
platform.
It supports capture, focus, guiding, alignment, and polar assistant tools.
Furthermore, it can save your images directly to the cloud where they are stored
along with a rich metadata system that enables easy search for images in the
future. You can define your own tags to uniquely identifies images of interest.
Turn on sound notifications on to get audible alerts on tasks such as when an
image is captured and so on. It supports multiple themes (Normal, Dark, and
Night) to suit your seeing preferences.
2. Is EkosLive a replacement for Ekos?
No. EkosLive is a complementary tool to Ekos. It actually requires Ekos in the
background. The benefit of EkosLive is that you can access it at any time you
have internet access. There is no need to use TeamViewer or 3rd party solutions
to log in remotely to your PC to check the observatory status. All of this can be
done easily and securely with EkosLive. Since it was designed with mobile in
mind, you'll find its user interface particularily suited for tablets and phones.

Yes! We offer two tiers of EkosLive subscriptions:
EkosLive Basic: Free.
EkosLive Pro: $4.99/Month subscription.
