ASIAIR Beta v2.0.0: Page 7

ASIAIR Beta v2.0.0

w7ay

Obs30 FW and App update to version 2.0.0(42)/(10.23) from (10.18) was "only" announced and proposed on the iPhone and not on the MBP-M1P

Seems to work fine on Mac Studio (M1 Ultra):

Since it is Beta, be sure to look for it using iOS TestFlight on macOS.

Thanks. Yes, I could update via TestFlight on the MBP, but not automatically like on the iPhone.

I noticed another issue since a few nights. When slewing to a new object with SkyAtlas, the mount does not resume tracking. Needless to say, that the plate solving is not working. I actually have the same issue with SkySafari 7 Pro. The mount is controlled via the INDI driver LX200 Basic. I can only restart the tracking by using an INDI controller (INDIGO Control Panel in my case).

Obs30 We will test with the mounts we have to confirm this issue. Thanks for your feedback

This does not happen all the time. It usually happens, when I disconnect the telescope in the ASIAIR App and slew to a new object with SkySafari 6 Pro on the MBP. Not all objects are visible in the ASIAIR SkyAtlas. Of course, I could use the search function... anyway ... When disconnecting SkySafari and reconnecting the mount with the ASIAIR App, I sometimes seem to have the issue after slewing of no star tracking.

Just noticed.... seems to be unrelated to SkySafari. I just slewed from Jupiter to a nearby star and back and there is no tracking grrrr...

Hello,
after installing iPadOS 15.7 the beta app was crashing during a test video during the day. Unfortunately the „Bug report“ function does not let me in anymore. So I am reporting here.

PMTeam@ZWO

Astrobert Got you, we will try to reproduce this issue with the latest beta version.

PMTeam@ZWO

vladi Thanks for your feedback. We will fix it in the next update.

I have tested the new version two nights, it is a great sucess, a lot of improvements & all things are running correctly.

@ASIAIR@ZWO#58633 Thank you! Please, let me know if have to run more tests at my end.

I have one issue which is present for a while now. If telescope is autoguiding on the west side of meridian, when I slew to east side, calibration data is not automatically flipped and autoguiding goes haywire. I have to manually flip it. However after automatic meridian flip calibration is flipped and everything goes well. Only slewing back to east side doesn't flip calibration data.
I have gem45 2020 version and Asiair pro.

astrosatch If telescope is autoguiding on the west side of meridian, when I slew to east side, calibration data is not automatically flipped and autoguiding goes haywire.

This is correct behavior.

Only a GOTO command to the mount will cause a mount to perform a Meridian Flip. A slew command will not.

This is how the ASIAIR causes the mount to perform a Meridian Flip (what ZWO calls an "Automatic Meridian Flip") by sending a GOTO command at the proper time.

You can check this out on your mount's controller. You can slew anywhere you want (usually a warning that you are slewing too close to the Sun), including across the Meridian. Only a GOTO from the hand controller will perform a Meridian Flip, if the pier side demands it.

w7ay Only a GOTO command to the mount will cause a mount to perform a Meridian Flip. A slew command will not.

With slew I ment GOTO. Even after turning asiair pro on from park position first GOTO command there is no change in calibration direction east or west from meridian. It actually shows last used direction from previous session no matter on which side of meridian telescope actually is. Only after automatic meridian flip direction changes.
This is obviously a bug or I just don't know better.

w7ay Only a GOTO from the hand controller will perform a Meridian Flip, if the pier side demands it.

Do you mean mount hand controller and not asiair?

astrosatch Do you mean mount hand controller and not asiair?

Both.

chrisastro it’s absolutely ridiculous we have to search for beta versions at all! Someone needs to pull the finger out and fix the issue of eq6-r pro newer chipsets not connecting to usb cable

Obs30

Hi... I am still having the issue with going to objects close to the celestial equator. The DEC coordinate is inverted and plate-solving fails.

Obs30

Anyone else with this issue? Bad timing with Jupiter being in opposition. I do not have this problem with KStars/EKOS.

Obs30

Actually, the problem is "only" with negativ DEC values between -1° and 0°. I confirmed this with 12, 13, and 14 Piscium. 12 and 13 Piscium are around 0° -57' DEC, while 14 Piscium is at DEC = -1° 07'. For the latter, the GOTO worked with plate-solving - no issue. For the other two it did not and the mount always slewed to the corresponding positive/inverted DEC values.

Could anyone, please, double check this with his/her mount?

I am using the latest beta version of ASIAIR/FW (2.0 (52) - 10.34).

Obs30

OK. Figured it out. It is an issue with the SkySafari INDI driver on the mount controller. Not an ASIAIR issue!

Obs30

Obs30 The indilib forum confirmed the issue and there is a potential fix out there. 😃

With every beta of 2.0.0 I noticed the saving process of images shot in Preview mode takes a lot longer than in earlier firmwares. Not only that, the app crashes regularily when hitting the save button.

PMTeam@ZWO

crackout Which platform, iOS or Android? and What is your phone model?
