Product Description
ASIAIR PRO is a smart WiFi device. It is equipped with a lightweight power management module, ample USB interfaces, and multiple dovetail mounting methods.
With the rich features of the ASIAIR App, the whole procedure from device integration to image capture runs particularly smooth.
ASIAIR PRO is the second generation of ZWO that has been continuously improved and newly designed since the first generation of ASIAIR was released in July 2018.
Outstanding Features
1. Excellent craftsmanship, strong tactile appeal
Superb craftsmanship with a strong tactile appeal ASIAIR PRO shell is made out of aluminum and processed by CNC tech. After the surface is anodized, it not only protects the shell well, but also has a comfortable feel. The size of the whole machine is 92 x 67 x 35 mm, making its size and weight excellent, which can be easily grasped by hand.
2. Unique look and easy installation
The slot/port position of ASIAIR PRO is nice and symmetrical, with M4 and 1/4 inch openings on the bottom and the side. With the use of the dovetail, the installation and removal become easy. The whole machine adopts bright vibrant Ferrari red tones, and the front is painted with laser star maps of the constellation Ursa Minor and Ursa Major, which is very beautiful.
3. Integrated power management, more storage space
ASIAIR PRO is equipped with a lightweight power management module. There are four DC 5.5 x 2.1 mm power outputs on the side of the body, one DSLR shutter release port, two USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports each. The power supply is stable and reliable, the interface is rich and diverse, and the wiring is easy and orderly. It also comes with 84 GB of free storage, so you can capture images freely.
Note:ASIAIR PRO’s or ASIAIR Plus’s USB power supply is not enough for ASI6200/ASI2600/ASI533//ASI071MC cameras to work normally, so please use an external 12V power supply, which can be connected to the ASIAIR PRO’s power management as well.
4. LED indicator, clearly indicates the working status
The LEDs will show the working status clearly. What’s more, it has the key operation warning tone, which makes the whole operation under control.
Note: You can enhance the WiFi signal of ASIAIR by using the ZWO WiFi extender.
App Functions
ASIAIR supports both iOS and Android systems.

If you do not save your images they will be lost or
Don’t be stupid and remember to click the stupid square with the stupid arrow
For people with a good memory there is always the option “DO NOT REMEMBER AGAIN”

Hi, is the Celestron Nexstar Evolution mount (9.25) supported ? If yes, to which extent ? Can ASIAIR Pro do goto and platesolving, being the mount an Alt-Az one ? In case the ASIAIR Pro can do goto and plate solving with the mount, does it happen through Sky Safari or by connecting the ASIAIR Pro to the hand controller ?

Daniel (verified owner) – :
I use the Asiair Pro with
– the ZWO 7-pos filter wheel and LRGB + narrowband filters
– EAF
Autofocus after filter change takes a long time with narrowband filters, since I have to use long exposure times between 10s…15s.
It would be much better, if I could always focus with the luminance filter and configure an offset for the other filters relative to the luminance filter.
This is how most people focus with Software like Nina.
Would be great, if this would be possible with the Asiair as well, it would be much faster.
Is this a planned feature, I think it is quite important!

Hello,
I have an asiair pro (with serial number 64796). I only used 2 times. The first time works ok, but the second time no. It seems that lost the connection with the iPad (I was less than 1 meter away). I reset the wifi but still not working. I use the latest version for iPad.
What I can do? Thank you in advance

sara.liu – :
May I ask if the iPad can obtain the WiFi from AIR Pro?
If yes, try to enable the local network(which is in setting) and turn off the cellular(if your iPad is 4G version).
Or you can try on some other phones.
