And btw i still have no tracking when i use the AZGTI in Alt Az mode with the alt az wedge driver like i had with stellarmate. (Goto and plate solve is ok but no tracking) Do you plan to fix this ?

dechh

Can you please install the last indi driver for the AZ GTI in native Alt Az mode with tracking ?

Any plans to fix yet the incorrect orientation of the main app. ASIAir is a landscape based app.. why is the opening screen still portrait. All iPads are landscape, there should be no portrait orientation.

this really is confusing why you designed it like this.

Also the Chinese characters are back on the US version of the app

PMTeam@ZWO

Kring Thanks for your feedback. We will try to adapt the iPad or Tablet UI more in the future.

Hi all i don't know if this question is writed on other post before, but with 2.0 beta i see that gain of camera, i have asi 2600mc, for all start of app, goes default to low. Although at every start I put it back in median alias gain 100. It seems that the app does not memorize the last gain set.

The Android app changes the display auto rotate setting. I have it turned off but after using the app it is turned on.

I just tested version 2.0.0074. I find the GUI of the focussing section is quite a change to the worse. Its more design and less function. I used the old line graphs a lot to see if star size is getting better with every manual focus step and also to see the variance due to seeing. Now the y-axis is compressed so much that its no longer useful. It seems it was downgraded to a mere design element. Also I have the impression that the zoomed-in picture of the star has gotten smaller - which is just what you don't want when you zoom on something, especially when you dont have the optimum eyesight like me.
After a night of observing and focusing I find that manual focusing has become a lot more difficult with the change, because its much more difficult to see what you are doing. Looks just like a GUI designer has been employed who has never used the ASIAIR for observation. I am scared about the path ASIAIR is taking.

p099gll I agree with you 100%, the only thing that got better is the improvement on guiding,

PMTeam@ZWO

p099gll Noted, could you share the screenshot of your phone on Focus page?

p099gll

Yes, of course, here it is:

What I am refering to are the two graphs (red lines). In the old version there is a lot more room for the star size graph:

PMTeam@ZWO

p099gll Got you. Will optimize it.

Hi there, even after almost 6 months nothing seems to have happened here. You promised "to optimize it". It is still difficult for me to use the focuser since the "zoomed in" star image and graph are too small to see clearly, at least with my eyes.

p099gll

PMTeam@ZWO

Looks like there is no optimization of the focusing-GUI (my post on Oct 4 22) happening. The graph with the star size is still totally useless. Is this anywhere on the roadmap ?
Thanks

Does anyone know if 2.0 lets you connect directly to CGX (or CGXL) and bypass the HC? Thank you. Looks like a great update otherwise! Thank you ZWO.

jimcutler no it doesn’t.

The way the app behaves in Plan mode leaves room for improvement. It wasn't ideal in pre 2.0 and got even worse in 2.0:

Hitting the image glyph does not open the folder of the current running plan, instead it opens the "Plan" folder. One has to manually then tap on the folder of the current plan
Hitting "<" after checking the lights does not close the file viewer but instead goes up a level. In order to get back to the Plan mode overview the fastet way is to tap on the root folder in the linear tree at the bottom and then subsequently hit "<". Not smooth and ideal.
Re-opening the app does not auto-load the last acquired image. Instead it shows the last image that was taken and loaded when the app was active. If this condition is not fulfilled it just displays the blank canvas.

This behaviour is less than ideal, because a/my usual workflow while a plan is running looks like this:

Opening the app
Checking guiding and progress in Plan view
Tapping the image glyph to open up the images last acquired and checking them for consistency, star size, clouds etc.

Proposed behaviour:

Hitting the image glyph immediately opens the folder of the currently running plan
Hitting "<" immediately closes the file viewer back to the Plan mode screen (if one wants to jump up one level in the tree, the linear tree at the bottom offers this functionality).
Opening the app while a Plan is running automatically loads the last acquired image everytime.

PMTeam@ZWO

crackout Noted, will optimize. Thanks for your feedback.
