It is possible for multiple instances of app to connect to the same mount by network, but there are precautions to take.
It is safe to read data from the mount using one app instance while another instance controls its motion. However, you must not let two instances perform motion control at the same time, including GOTO, slewing, and tracking. To prevent interference, stop motion control in one app instance before performing motion control in another instance.
Be cautious on Android, because when app is switched to the background, it can still perform long running motion control tasks. To see what task is long running, see [Maintaining Long Running Task].
You can perform alignment using one instance of the app, then use [PM (Pointing Model) Sharing] to share the result with another app instance.
