ASI AIR PRO Re-adjustment of FoV Challenge

sreesha

In ASI AIR PRO, there is a small map like icon left-bottom corner. When I shoot an image, I can click on this icon and it would show me two rectangular Field Of Views - one Red and other Blue, so I can adjust what I need and re-center by clicking GoTo.

I could do this earlier. But from yesterday am not sure what changed, now I don't see those rectangular Field of View frames; instead I see two circles - blue and red with a "+" sign inside. And I am not able to use that to readjust the field of view. Even if I expand further, I can only see the grid around, but not the defined field of view.

What am I missing, and how to get back the rectangular field of views please advice.

Thanks

sreesha The ASIAir needs to know where the telescope is pointed at in order to display the corresponding rectangles. I think there are two ways to get them:

by taking an image in preview mode and plate solve it before you go into the sky atlas (this is the name of the feature, that is behind that little map icon in the bottom-left)
by choosing your target in preview mode and issuing a goto so the ASIAir takes images and plate solves automatically after slewing to the target

I tried again. It goes to the same with with Blue and Red circles with + inside, there are no Blue and Red rectangular field of view adjustments visible.

I am attaching the images for refernece:

As you can see in first image, Am able to see the positions by Annotating in the home page.

Once I click on Sky Atlas map (icon on left bottom corner), it opens the sky atlas, but the boundaries are missing (the red and blue rectangles are missing). So I cannot adjust the frame. I only see red and blue circles, which is not helping me to re-adjust and re-platesolve, as I cannot see the boundary of the frame.

sreesha the first of your images is showing Autorun mode, not Preview mode. You usually go into Sky Atlas before starting Autorun. And even before that you take a picture in Preview mode and plate solve it there. Did you follow that sequence? Unfortunately, i can’t reproduce your problem.

I try to d a autorun without a connection to a mount. After the first image the progran try to recenter. How can I stop this.
