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.

Hello,
I keep getting this error message (Abort tracking. Telescope points outside the horizon) like many others! What is the solution to this problem? Anyone know the solution? Because this is frustrating. Last night approx. every half hour this error came up! (heq5pro, connected via usb cable via hand controller)

There are two possibilities
1 \ If the horizon line where the mount was setup was too high?
2 \ Ensure your’ve done polar alignment accurately.

Hi,

what does exactly mean?
I have Canon 500D is it supported for managing the camera and capturing photos?
Thanks

Katherine Tsai – :
It supports Canon 500D.
DSLR can be set as main camera and you need a guide camera for guiding.

What chip sets for the USB to serial cable does the ASIAIR support. I know the one that comes with it uses a Prolific chip set and driver.
Love my ASIAIR.
Need the ability to view “BEST OF TONIGHT” without being connected to the scope or mount. Can plan out your night before setting up. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

Dear Friends,
Would you be able to post the latest version of the android app for ASIAIR at the google play store.
My ChromeBook (for technical reasons) can only access the app through the play store, but it is an older version.

Hello, i know there is a list of mounts supported through INDI, but the link is not very clear to me. Could you tell me if the ASIair is compatible with a skywatcher staradventurer ? the staradventurer has a ST4 port but can be guided on one axis only . Thank you for taking time to tell me if it’s ok or not with this mount.
Are there other USB to Serial adapter that will work with ASIAIR? I need a USB “B” to Serial cable.

I just purchased ASIair. I have also have Celestron Starsense but an old Starsense hand controller that doesn’t have mini usb at the bottom of the hand controller but a phone cable RJ11. Will this still be compatible with ASIair or will I need to update the Starsense hand controller?

You can also try RS232 cable but we are not sure. If you have any updates we would be appreciated if you let us know.

Hi there,
I have ASI071MCpro, ASI120mini as a guider cam, ZWO-EAF as a focuser. The EAF disrupts data traffic in USB when I try using the EAF. It crashes every time, on 3 different PCs using APT, independently. On 32bit and 64bit systems. (I could identify the EAF as the source of trouble, consistently and repeatable, currently went back to manual focusing)
Will ASIair solve this? Is ASIair capable of running these 3 components smoothly, reliable and hasslefree together?
Thank you

Is it possible to use Asiair only as a wifi module? I would like to use it sometimes only for visual purposes, without connecting any cameras. Can I then (without cameras, without any preview image,focusing etc.) use Asiair to switch to Sky Safari and thus control the equitorial mount remotely, do aligment in Sky Safari?
0

Katherine Tsai – :
Yes it is possible.
ASIAIR support polar alignment and you can use it without SkySafari.

Paul – :
Sorry for the newbie question. I am living at a location where the North Star (Polaris) is almost at the horizon. Thus, it is impossible to perform polar alignment here. May I know are there any other option for alignment on the ASIair without using Polaris?
