What do you mean by "not under real life"? Please elaborate.

> What do you mean by "not under real life"? Please elaborate.

I mean with the computer connected to my equipment.
In the Ekos window, I click on the icon "arrow" (Start) which turns into a red icon "old phone". 
The comment for this icon says : "Connection in progress. Click to abort"
But nothing happens

I can confirm the issue

Comment 5 Jean-Claude 2025-02-25 15:17:39 UTC

I have been awaiting for this new version (KStars 3.7.5) because it resolves a Mosaic Assistant bug that I reported (BUGS:495923 -- FIXED-IN:3.7.5).

No luck : KStars 3.7.5 doesn't run on macOS (this bug).
Is there any chance that this will be repaired ?
