V2 Android beta

franco

Couldn't find the planetarium option Chen mentioned with his Testflight version, didn't seem to be anything new at all in the app and there wasn't a firmware update for the Pi.

What is new is a starting page with various shortcuts to web sites, to go the actual ASIAir device you need to click a link. There is a light pollution map that might be useful if you travel a lot, I suppose.

After checking a few of the links I couldn't access the Air anymore, the app just kept crashing so I reinstalled the current stable version. No harm done.

Here is a screenshot of my (clouded over, with moon behind the clouds) all sky camera (version 1 ASIAIR), showing the Preview window.

See that huge icon (really a pure waste of screen real estate) at the bottom left of the window, with Cassiopeia and Ursa Major, to the left of the histogram?

Tap on that to get into the planetarium window.

The only way I have found to get back to the Preview window is to tap on the top left corner of the Planetarium window (there is no documentation, as usual). There is no button there; not even a back arrow.

The only change I could see on the preview window was a home icon in the top left-hand corner, this just takes you back to the initial screen with the website options - pollution map, google map etc.

Maybe the planetarium is going to be IOS only!

As far as I know there is no planetarium in version 2. Version 1.9 of which Chen speaks of is still in beta and not public yet.
