That takes 100% of the Stellarium load off the mini PC. I fought this forever and the solution for me is to run Stellarium on the Desktop/Laptop and connect to the mount using ASCOM remote/Alpaca over the network. And at any rate, given the HUGE benefit of cranking down FPS rates in the Stellarium config file, is toiling with ASCOM (as azcubs76 states is "a bear to set up") even worthwhile, given the inevitable diminishing returns? Personally, I'm very happy to see Stellarium's appetite for computer resources being slashed by a factor of 10, along with a similar benefit with respect to Windows Remote Desktop's consumption of resources. And as you say, many might not have spent a ton of dosh on unnecessary PC upgrades in an attempt to tame the beast! Stellarium remains a fabulous astronomy tool, and it just got better, so it goes without saying that Gzotti and his colleagues deserve the highest plaudits.īut I'm puzzled: why did it take so long to address a problem which seemed to be endemic?Īs for running Stellarium on one's local PC vide Gzotti's comment: "I always wonder why you torture your scope NUCs, mini-PCs or Raspberries running graphics-heavy Stellarium out at the telescope and running remote desktop to your more capable big PCs indoors.", I suppose the truth is that most of us didn't know that was possible. One shudders to think how many Terawatts of electricity our planet might have been spared had the solutions set out by the estimable contributors in this thread been adopted many years ago. Now what should I do with all that unused CPC time?Īgreed. Had I seen it sooner I might not have upgraded my astronomy PC. As a bonus if we all do it, the annual energy savings could save the planet. This thread contained the best Stellarium tip I've ever seen.Įasy to do and instant relief.
