USB2.0 Port
ASIAIR comes with 4 USB2.0 ports, you can connect up to 4 USB devices and don’t need USB Hub.
Power Supply
ASIAIR need 5V@2.5A external power supply, it’s micro USB port. Normally, ASIAIR consumes only 500ma current. but peak value would be 2.5A, so please use the power cable come with ASIAIR. other cables may be too thin and cannot provide enough power. we also provide one 12V-5V DC Converter, so you can connect ASIAIR to the 12V power supply as most Astro device.
SD Card and Card Reader
There is one 32GB Micro SD card come with ASIAIR. there is OS running on this SD card and 25G space left for the user to store images. The user can use this SD Card Reader to transfer the images to your PC and processing. There is risk the SD card maybe corrupt one day. We highly recommend user back up your SD card first when you get the ASIAIR. Please find more detailed info in ASIAIR Quick Guide.
Supported Mount
ASIAIR control the mount through INDI. iOptron, Sky-Watcher are all tested with ASAIR by us. INDI Mount support list: http://indilib.org/devices/telescopes.html
Software
ASIAIR supports both IOS and Android systems.
ASIAIR App also speaks with the SkySarfari apps(SkySafari \SkySafari Plus \SkySafari Pro). You can now plate solve & sync in the ASIAIR app and read the mount’s position in SkySarfari!

Stephen Vickers – :
What happens if I don’t back up the image and the sd card is corrupted? Are you providing the image somewhere else?

Sean Wang – :
Yes, it will need your air ID, then we can provide an image for you, but it need to download a lot of GB data, it will take much time from you.

I have the ASI1600MM Pro. Can ASIAIR be powered from the USB hub on the ASI1600? If so, what cable would I need? Or do I need a separate power supply? Can the ASI290MM guide camera be powered from the USB hub on the ASI1600 also?
0
0
Sean Wang – :
I suggest to separate power supply for ASI1600MM Pro to provide cooling and power up accessories( 290mm and EFW ). That will be better.

Roman Stehling – :
I just got the ASI1600MM Pro mono and the ASI290MM mono and the 8-whole EFW so it would for sure work nicely with the ASIair. Question: I just ordered a StarFi for my iOptron iEQ 45 Pro mount.
1. Would the ASIair be an advantage over the StarFi?
2. Can I use it with my iOptron iEQ 45 Pro mount?
3. What would be the advantage?
Thank you!
Roman

No, it only can shoot single frame(*.fit), can’t save videos, which means design for deepsky.
