Does the ASIAIR work with Stellarium Mobile Plus app or do you have to use Sky Safari?

Hello Mark,

ASIAIR is a fully stand-alone system, so it can't work with Stellarium MP. But, ASIAIR can work with the SKySafari but unnecessary, there is a database of targets in the app.

Sorry to say, but the Sky Atlas within the ASIAir app is way behind Stellarium Mobile. I would like to use Stellarium to search and slew to objects and leave ASIAir only for imaging.
I have Stellarium and ASIAir running on the same tablet at the same time. Stellarium recognizes and connects to my AM5 through the ASIAir wifi. It can actually make it slew. But for some reason the mount doesn't report the "Slew finished" state which makes Stellarium to keep waiting for it indefinitely.
I believe the AM5 uses a LX200 protocol implementation... Is there any documentation available on how is this protocol implemented?

    Does this still not work in 2024? I have Sky Safari Pro to avoid the poor sky map on the ZWO app but would prefer to use Stellarium?

      Being able to link with Stellarium or SkyTrack is extremely beneficial to me. I am using my mounts for both astrophotography as well as amater radio, for satellite tracking. If the ZWO ASIAir app is capable of satellite tracking please let me know how to enable it, so I don't need to use third party software, but I don't see it. I currently use either Stellarium or SkyTrack for satellite work, directly USB cabled. I was hoping to be able to use them via my ASIAir Plus over wifi to not have to buy yet another device.
