Just got my ASIAIR Plus up & running 6 months after this was posted and all these features are standard and running very nicely. Enjoyed the rundown. Cheers!
Looking forward to the new ASIAir features in 2.0. Thanks for the video. I wasn’t aware that ZWO was working on a major update. I’m really impressed at how much you can do with ASIAir now compared to when it first came out.
I agree, I only have the original version and never used it much. It sat in a drawer for years actually. However since they released the all sky polar alignment I use it every session just for this feature. I can’t see the South Celestial Pole from my balcony but the new feature has made it so muc easier to get a good alignment anyway. I then switch to traditional software for imaging and control for the session but at least feel like I got my money’s with on the ASI air now
just subscribed... i was going to try my first attempt at a mosaic using telescopious.... think i will wait for the the ASI new mosaic feature... thank you.🙂 hopefully the new features will be on a new app for Ipads soon....
Thanks for the video, well done. Great and welcomed new features! Still missing the ability of creating multiple equipment profiles for those with several telescopes (main and guide) and cameras though. Maybe next time.
I saw that this new version was out and I really wanted to see a video showing it off. Thank you very much for this great video. I'm tempted to install it, but after a lot of cloudy and windy weather, I just had my first session with the AM5 and I don't want anything to go wrong. We'll see how long I can last without updating 😂 I would really appreciate if in the next video you can develop everything related to mosaics in more depth! Thank you very much again
With a new mount and limited clear nights you're probably best holding off. You definitely want to test and make sure the new mount is woring 100% without introducing any new possible sources of error etc. Will try and do mosaic with v2.0 next clear nigth and expand on it with its own video
@@clearskiesastro1028 Yeah, that's why I'm holding back from updating. Very few acceptable nights unfortunately! I look forward to your next video as well! Cheers!!
I’m running the latest update and all I can say is, for me, it’s so much better than any of the others. I did have one CTD but overall, the new features and the operations are awesome! I used to struggle with PA mostly because plate solving would often fail and it would sometimes take me twenty minutes to do a simple polar alignment. Last three nights since the update, two minutes and done! Your mileage may vary but for me, this update is a game changer!
I found when doing PA looking through my LXextreme it hardly plate solves but if I swith the filter wheel to a position with no filter...BAM it instantly finds it. Never hasd issues before until I have that filter in line
@@SimjetAU more light coming through makes plate solving easier and faster. If using something like an L-Extreme or Antlia ALP-T dual narrow band filter, you just need to increase the exposure time during PA. It does take longer though, and using a different filter by no means makes your PA any less accurate, so definitely a good idea to use no filter or your least restrictive filter like UV/IR or L-Pro.
Yeah previously, I would struggle with PA no matter what position I had on my filter wheel on. Plate solve would also fail when I tried a GOTO on an image from the night before. That feature never gave me problems before but recently it just sat there and did nothing. Now, everything is so smooth and very quick!
@@clearskiesastro1028 nope, I have only tried that in the past, hoping it would help solve my issues but it didn’t so I switched it off. It’s been off since.
Very clear explanation. Thanks. When I started this weekend (after 2 months of clouds....) the new version was uploaded. I however had problems with the autoguiding. It oscillated continuously up to more than 8" up and down. I had even to stop the autoguiding to get something done, trying to take some pictures of M81. Any idea what I did wrong? I appreciate all comments... (it looked like a conflict/overshoot between the mount and the corrections by the Asiair) My configuration is CGX-mount with the Asiair Pro, guiding by ASI290 and taking pictures with the ASI071
Not really, there are some already out there from PrimaLuceLab and others so they obviously fit into the optical train otherwise they wouldn’t be made. Granted I’ve never used one myself
For each his/her/their own but I really am glad I got a mini-PC instead of the ASI Air Pro. I was actually waiting for one that was back ordered but got a mini PC for around half the price. I run NINA on it, can use my ipad, mac book, inside Windows PC etc to connect to it and it works perfectly. NINA had a slight learning curve but I am really getting the hang of it.
To each his own for sure, I'm looking to try and get a NUC setup to play with so I can use the Pegasus rotator and other non-ZWO peripherals in the near future. How are you running NINA from iPad? Remote desktop to miniPC?
@@clearskiesastro1028 I run it on the mini pc that came with WIndows 11 Pro. It allows you to remote desktop. I use my inside gaming PC as well as my ipad via the free remote desktop app (on the ipad) and the ipad works like a huge track pad and you touch to click. It works very well.
a mini pc is ok but honestly asiair is unreal,it does everything.can your minipc do a polar alignment just by slewing at two points of the sky and knowing where youre pointing to etc
Thanks for the update! QUESTION: Telescopius & other software products provide the option of (a) constructing a mosaic with all panels having the same rotation angle, or (b) constructing a mosaic in which each panel is rotated a unique amount in order to end up with a perfectly rectangular mosaic. (..spherical geometry? woo hoo! lol..) It appeared that your example represented the latter of the two options, which would be a pain if shooting multiple panels in one evening & having to do a new manual rotation over & over again. So, I am interested in knowing if the Beta version also provides option (a), which is less efficient but requires less hands-on work.
The ASIAIR does not rotate each panel to preserve a perfect rectangle, and each panels rotation is identical. The farther away from the celestial poles the target, the more the mosaic will appear rectangular as if they were individually rotated, but they are not. When you create a mosaic near the pole, the panels do not form a rectangle at all, thanks to that wonderful spherical geometry, the same as in Telescopius when you disable the "rotate panes to preserve alignment".
@@clearskiesastro1028 On this question, in your example it appeared to me that you could have framed the capture with a 2x5 mosaic if you had rotated your camera for framing. So is there a way to use a selected rotation of the camera for the mosaic or is a default rotation always used? Given a default rotation for the mosaic, how is that default rotation determined? Even if a default rotation is used, in the case of a mosaic how do you rotate the camera to the default rotation? Thanks for the video. Is ZWO going to release a published list of new features along with a user manual?
@@jimcollins1922 Hi Jim, ZWO already has published the list of new features for Beta v2.0 on the "ZWO Asiair" FB group and if you go onto the TestFlight app (iPhone) and look for the beta version, you can see the full list there too. Not sure about Android, I'm sure its there as well wherever their beta apps are stored. ZWO continues to update the yuque-dot-com online manuals as best as they can but even those are still lacking. I believe they are updated by a single person though so still not cmoplete enough for most. In regards to the rotation for mosaics, I think the best way would be to look at the targer in Sky Atlas, figure out optimal camera rotation for the least amount of panels, and then use the new rotation assist feature to get your camera on that angle, and then just setup the mosaic. Assuming you're successfully plate solving then your exact rotation is known and displayed in SkyAtlas via the blue scope field of view box/rectangle.
@@clearskiesastro1028 Can you clarify if the framing shown in sky atlas is actually based upon the current rotation of the camera as determined by plate solving? Thanks Jim
Really interesting, thank you. Am I right to think that the ASIAIR is only compatible with ZWO cameras including guide cameras? What about other elements like autofocussers, filter wheels etc?
Really looking forward to this update, the UI is an improvement but there are some killer features on the way. Interesting location feature, although I'd be very concerned with the security aspect. Could you not be advertising where some expensive kit could be left outside?!??!
Yes I agree that is a concern. I definitely wont be turning on my location feature at my house, but perhaps at a star party with hundreds of scopes etc....you could turn it on to have friends etc find where you are setup.
This is a list of my hardware: Explore Scientific ED102 Essential Series Air-Spaced Triplet APO Refractor (ES-ED10207-02) , 2" Hotech field flattener, ASIair Pro, EAF, ASI294MC Pro. I have been using this setup for the last month with absolutely no problems. Last night I went out and setup to run but I could not get the Plate Solving to work. Is there some way to find out which update is running? (I don't remember if I ran the lastest update) There has been NO hardware changes, so I figure it's a software. Any ideas or solution?
Agree it’s likely a software issue or more likely a settings change post update. You can see which version you’re running in the app when connected to all your gear, or the easier way is just to check the app version on your phone through Apple Store or Google play. The app version always matches the device it logs into, so one can’t be different from the other. The following things will affect plate solving: - bad focus - not tracking (star trails) - noisy image (short exp and/or high gain) - dark image (short exp + narrowband filter) - wrong scope focal length - too small of a field of vue It’s been known to happen where an update will inadvertently change some of your existing settings so go over all of these with a fine tooth comb. I would recommend you also delete the ASIAIR app and re-install it.
Great video and great features! Finally the dar library for guiding ! Is the anti-dewstrip referred to in the menu the original ZWO one or can it be any one? Thank you !
Thanks! The add-on dew heater strips for the older cooled cameras are powered by 12V DC so I don't think those would work with this feature. It would only be the ones which have the built-in dew heaters. I'm 99% sure about this but if anyone has one of the external add-on dew heaters and can confirm this that would be great!
Good info. Thanks. Is the All Sky Polar Alignment feature still experimental or is it permanent in 2.0? Since I can't see Polaris I've been waiting for that to become part of the permanent build before I pulled the trigger.
It’s still experimental in the beta but I’ve used it in the current public release and it works fine, so no worries about using it and you don’t need to upgrade to beta
Thanks for nice demo. Do you know if the new sky atlas features mean that I can use automtic refresh and plate solve to locate a target with non-go-to mount? Or is that somehow just to adjust the rotation? This would be a game changer for me with just the skygyider pro. Thanks.
Good question and yes you can use plate solving to locate your target in Sky atlas with a tracker. Just not sure if the auto refresh option which is only in the rotation assist can be used that way, but I feel it might. Something for me to test next clear night
Thanks for letting me know, the reason it was so low is that my microphone wasn’t plugged in when I recorded this take and it ended up using the iPad Pro built in mic instead. I’ll be sure to use external one next time

@@mikelockwood2104 honestly other than what I use it for with my SCT not really. My refractor has an EAF and so it’s not a useful feature for that scope, but my SCT doesn’t have EAF so the continuous preview does help in that regard along with collimating using a tri-Bahtinov mask.

Will there be an option to set a fix Stopp time for single panels to start the next? Or an option to start 2 different plans per night (one after another with their individual start and stop times)
You can set the start time and stop time of a plan, but not for a single panel within a multi panel plan. I guess you could put each panel of your mosaic in its own plan by itself and set the timer for each accordingly too.

@@michaelclancy7874 not how it works with ASIAIR. The version of app on your phone or tablet contains the firmware update, so once you update the app on those, if you connect to an ASIAIR of lower release, it will automatically prompt you to update the firmware to match the app version you have on phone/tablet

Has multiple star PA been upgraded from experimental to a real feature yet?
Do you mean All Sky PA? Where you don’t need to have line of sight to Celestial poles? It’s still experimental in the beta.
Anyone know how to update the firmware? I was able to download the beta update, but I cannot find instructions for the update process anywhere/ Thx Mike
You just connect to your ASIAIR and it will trigger the update
@@clearskiesastro1028 TY for the reply. Mine does not seem to check for updates. Much thanks Mike
@@1clancym which exact firmware version is your ASIAIR running right now?
@@clearskiesastro1028 VER 1.9.1 (9.97) Just curious, how could the ASIAIR update connected to asi wifi. There is no internet access. Shouldn't the box have to be connected to a internet enabled wifi? Thx Mike
@@michaelclancy7874 not how it works with ASIAIR. The version of app on your phone or tablet contains the firmware update, so once you update the app on those, if you connect to an ASIAIR of lower release, it will automatically prompt you to update the firmware to match the app version you have on phone/tablet
Great content, thank you very much. But please just stop smacking your lips and drink some water. I can't listen to you and I'm using subtitles...
