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
The user can use the Skysafari app to control the mount through ASIAIR, choose the target and go. Supported cameras
ASI USB3.0 camera, ASI cooled camera, ASI mini cameras. (It can not support ASI120MM/MC camera)
Supported DSLR
These models: D300/ D300s/ D3200/ D3300/ D3400/ D700/ D90/ D5000/ D5100/ D7000/ D3/ D3s/ D3x do not support Bulb mode which means you can not exposure longer than 30s.
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.

Hi,
I am using a Fujifilm X-Pro2 with the Sky Rover 60ED f/6 on a Star Adventurer mount with ZWO 32 f/4 guidescope and ASI120MM mini guide camera for guiding in RA only.
I have two questions;
1) Can I use my guide camera (almost same FOV as main camera) to perform plate solving, or can this only be done with main camera and guide camera attached to ASIAIR?
2) If I can perform plate solving, can I link this to Sky Safari Pro to show me where I am pointing on my iPad, or is a GoTo mount required for this to work?
Thank you for your response from light polluted Chongqing.

Katherine Tsai – :
1.You need to set the guide camera as imaging camera to perform plate solving.
2.Since you are using Star Adventure, you could only manually input the data after plate solving to SkySafari(via ST4).
5. Can I plug a USB stick into the camera (or harddrive) and have the files saved there instead of the internal memory card? I’d rather not have to remove the card to collect the images each session but have it on a stick.
1.Yes it will.
2.One guide camera and one imaging camera.
3.We recommend 12V+ >2A power to connect our adapter.
4.No.

2. With Star Adventure, it only supports manual inputing the data of plate solving (via ST4).

on hand controller, there is another port for RS232 cable, connect the hand controller with RS232 cable(come with CEM25p), then RS232 to usb cable, then the ASIAIR. Remember to choose the mount type as CEM25p in ASIAIR APP.

Thank you for the reply Katherine. Please excuse my mistake. All this time I did not turn on the mount (on camera). Everything is working very well. I see in another post that AsiAir does not work with USB2.0 cameras, but I’m using the ASI120mm mini and it works fine as a guide camera. I guess you mean USB2.0 cameras are not supported as the Main camera. Thanks again. Love the product.

Everything connects OK, but when I open the guide camera, frame a star and then try to calibrate, I get a message from the top that says “all equipment must be connected first”. I’m pretty sure all my connections are right. I’ve replaced the cables. The connection to the guide scope is working. I get the green box. I can loop the images, but when I hit the Calibrate button, I get that message. “all equipment must be connected first”. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

For Vixen Starbook Ten mounts (SXP in my case), the mount has one RS232 which connects to the starbook ten computer/hand controller. The star book ten also has just 1 RS232 (for connecting to the mount). There are no extra RS232s to connect something like the ASIAIR. The star book does also have an ethernet LAN port and an ST-4 auto guider port. Assuming that Starbook ten is supported (INDI says it is) how would I even physicially connect the ASIAIR to my mount?

2. How many imaging cameras can it run at one time (say a setup that has 2 imaging scopes + guider)
3. Do you have a suggested 5V battery power-pack that can be used to power this device vs. relying on 12V? In cases where the NexStar & StarAdventurer can be powered from AA batteries so I might not need to bring the 12V battery with me.
4. Can it power a USB Dew Heater such as this one?
