PMTeam@ZWO Hi I would like to know when this camera is likely to be supported as I have upgraded to this camera and am unable to use any of my equipment at the moment.
I believe that @evilc has had this camera added to the libgphoto2 library.
Thanks

Tech@ZWO all you have to do is recompile with current libghoto2 available on Github.

this isn't hard

Any update on this camera being supported? Just got my AA+ and AM3 this week and will be patiently waiting. For now, I am stuck with an intervalometer on top of my camera and my AM3 is an expensive Startracker. Thank you for your hard work.

Tech@ZWO

Jason We will try to support it in the future. thank you for your support and feedback.

I can confirm that version 2.1.2 released in March 2024 works well with the Canon R6 Mark ii. Very easy to use, just connect a USB-A to the ASIAIR then a USB-C connected to the R6Mii. When you open the app, the R6 will show up as the only option for the main camera, select it! On the set up for your RX, set it up in B for bulb, make sure you’re set for raw images, not Raw+JPG.

What I found was that in the preview mode, you can only set up exposures to 30 seconds. But when you go to plan mode, you’ll be able to set up targets with exposures of however many seconds or minutes you want.
