Great comfort features…needs more polish

Initial thoughts are positive as this is a perfect little window for those you like to watch the numbers throughout their imaging session. Would be great to have the ability to easily switch between multiple N.I.N.A sessions and I usually have two separate PCs running their own session on the field.

Does not really work for remote scopes

It says in the description, “Monitor over your Lan”., fair enough. But I have a scope at a remote observatory and the NINA computer and my local devices are connected via Tailscale. Touch N Stars connects to the Advanced API just fine, but Astro Vitals won’t even ping the machine. I’ve developed other applications that can connect to my NINA/AdvancedAPI just fine using my VPN. This is a very easy feature to implement in the app and would make it usable. I look forward to trying out after an update.
