The StellarMate Plus Manual

simply change solver type to Remote and ensure that your equipment profile
includes Astrometry driver which can be selected under the Auxiliary dropdown.
This is applicable to all operating systems and not just Windows.
StellarSolver vs. Remote
Remove Solver can be used if you are running Ekos on a PC/MacOS and
you would like to execute the plate-solving on StellarMate. In order for
Remote solver to be available in Ekos, you must select the Astometry
driver in your equipment profile. In the Proifle Editor, select Astrometry
driver in the AUX drivers list. Once the remote solver is detected, you can
switch Ekos to utilize it in the Align module.
Download Index Files
For offline (and remote) solvers, index files are necessary for the solver to work.
The complete collection of index files is huge (over 30 GB), but you only need to
download what is necessary for your equipment setup. Index files are sorted by
the Field-Of-View (FOV) range they cover. There are two methods to fetch the
necessary index files: The new download support in Align module, and the old
manual way.
