to upload and view images in addition to cloud storage & video streaming
capabilities. But the basic version of EkosLive is already quite powerful and can
perform Capture, Alignment, Focusing, and Guiding!
4. Is EkosLive Secure?
Absolutely! EkosLive transmits all traffic over SSL and WSL (for Secure
Websockets) using industry-proven encryption at both ends. Your data is securely
stored where you are the only party that can download and view them. No data is
shared with any 3rd party.
5. Can I access EkosLive Web App from multiple browsers/phones?
No. Currently, only one connection is permitted to EkosLive. If you try to login
from another login, you will be logged out from your current location.
6. How do I access EkosLive?
You can access EkosLive from this address https://live.stellarmate.com.
7. Do I need to purchase StellarMate to use EkosLive?
No, StellarMate is not required. You just need KStars/Ekos to use EkosLive.

the mount and any other devices with time & location dependencies. For example,
some weather drivers depend on location to query and retrieve information about
the current weather.
