This is a new milestone in ZWO history, astrophotography has never been easier!
ASIAIR is a smart WiFi device that allows you to control all ASI USB 3.0 cameras, ASI Mini series cameras, and an equatorial mount to do plate solving and imaging with your phone or tablet/iPad when connected to ASIAIR via WiFi.
Features
Dual bandwidth WiFi Control
5G & 2.4G supported. you can switch between 5G & 2.4G depends on your environment. 5G is faster for downloading and not so crowded as 2.4G but works best over shorter distances without many obstructions such as walls. Independent Guiding & Imaging
Standalone guiding & Imaging without the need of PC. Everything is under control with your phone!
Preview and focus in real time
Preview: with the help of WiFi network, ASIAIR can preview images in nearly real-time.
Debayer: debayer works for color cameras.
Auto white balance: AWB also works for color cameras
Focus: zoom a small area to provide max brightness curve and HFD curve, help users to get precise focus manually.
Auto & manually histogram stretching: screen stretching is always useful for dark deep sky imaging.
Plate Solving
Offline plate solving can be done in a few seconds. Choose Object
User only needs to open the “Telescope Settings” and click the “Choose Object” button to select the shooting target or make some observing plans. Dither
Improve your images tremendously, increasing the all-important SNR and removing artifacts. SkySafari Bridge

Good day,
Would you like me or ASIAIR to support the Losmandy G11 Gemini 1 level4?
Thank you Best regards

How do I focus the guider in this asi120mm mini+30f4 kit? Does the guider rotate when focusing?
0
0
Katherine Tsai – :
The 30F4 guide telescope will not rotate automatically, it need to be adjust manually.
Also the guiding camera will not rotate.
Here is a detail page in our website of the 30F4 for your reference. https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/product/zwo-minguider-scope

Maciej Grochowski – :
More about guiding connection: if the main camera has st4 port (for example asi294 mc color) then guiding camera(for example 120MM mini) can be connected to the main camera via st4 cable and then main camera to the Asiair via USB, and that is all?no USB connection between guiding camera and Asiair? And no st4 connection between guiding camera and the mount?
0
0
Katherine Tsai – :
No, two cameras cannot be connected by a ST4 cable.
If you want to connect the guide camera, main camera, mount and ASIAIR together,here is a method.
A:1. Connect the main camera and ASIAIR by USB cable;
2.Connect the guide camera and ASIAIR with USB cable;
3.Connect the guide camera and the mount via ST4 cable, then you can guiding with the handcontroller of the mount.

does it support for usb 2.0 asi cams? the port is 2.0? Because the android app is only useable with 3.0 which sucks. Every cheap third party app can support 2.0 usbs

Hi there,
Can I set up the ASIair with a Skywatcher AZ-EQ5 for short exposure imaging without guiding?
0
0
Katherine Tsai – :
There is no inevitable connection between shooting and the equatorial mount. If it is not long exposure, imaging within 5 seconds is basically acceptable.

Len – :
Mine seems to have come with a blank card. Is there a way to download the software right from the website, or have someone send it to me?
Can the asiair be used for camera control on a az/alt mount without tracking?
0
0
Katherine Tsai – :
Control the camera separatley is possible.
You can track or untrack according to the actual needs.
1.0.8 will be released soon, you can try that.

The only reason for me to wait buying Asiair is the missing of polar alignment feature. As Sharpcap has: a great, wonderful, unique, gorgeous feature. When are you planning to add this feature in the firmware? Soon??? In 1 month? In the next 3 month? Thanks
