PMTeam@ZWO Added Gain settings in Autorun & Plan Mode

Now if we could get dither interval settings in Plan and Autorun mode.

Updated to 2.1 last night, and now my meridian flips start and stop repeatedly. It runs seemingly in increments, checking to see if the target is centered several times along the way. It eventually completes successfully, but the possibility exists that the view may be obstructed at one of these mid-points, and solving may fail. The meridian flip used to be one smooth motion, with target centering only happening at the end. Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

Edit: Sky-Watcher HEQ5 mount with ASIAIR Pro, connected with EQ-MOD cable.

A feature i would like is a skyatlas or tonights best without being connected to asiair.

PMTeam@ZWO

lenn1 it will come

lenn1 In all honesty, I find it’s best to use telescopius.com to plan my shoots. Excellent site that’s free to use and host your pics. Great FOV simulator. Register and save all your equipment. Plan mosaics etc.

Will the Sony a5100 work with this release? If not will it be added to the next release?

lenn1 how does an image look with no asi air?

This upgrade has crippled my AVX mount, which was working flawlessly for the past year!!! Please see my full report posted below.

NO support added for the Canon R7?

Do you know when the Canon R6 Mark II will be supported?

PMTeam@ZWO

tgoble52 We have added support for this camera. But it hasn't been tested yet. You can try connecting the camera to ASIAIR

With this version I noticed that after every single exposure in preview mode,the image takes way to long to display.I'm not talking about the download speed which is 4-8MB/s .After the download the image takes 7-8 seconds to display on BIN 1 setting.If I change to BIN 2 it dispalys quicker but I lose resolution.I never had this issue on version 1.9.1 where after downloading, the image displayed instantly on BIN 1.Now it's lagging.I've reinstalled the app but it's the same.The camera is Canon 250D but it does the same with my ASI 533MCPRO.
And for the sake of argument I reinstalled version 1.9.1 and the image display worked perfectly on BIN 1.When I installed again version 2.1 there goes the lagging.So there is a bug related to BIN settings.
Also in the sky atlas I still can't find DSO by typing their names.I typed Rosette Nebula,then Orion..nothing.If I put their indicatives such as M42 etc they appear.But it's hard to remember this letters and numbers for every DSO.I thought you implemented this.Thanks.

Just upgraded to 2.1, thought I would give feedback:

I have been running previous version on iPad and two android devices (Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and Note 20 Ultra 5g). The app was working perfectly on android devices and iPad.

For me, upgrade works great on iPad. No issues, seems just like the previous version. Android was not working properly on first installation. When slewing, my mount just took off and app would not stop mount. Turned everything off, re-installed app on Note 9 and it seems to be working, but slow at times and somewhat "buggy". Sometimes it seems like the phone is "overloaded" and the slew commands lag by several seconds. If I use the right arrow to hide the slew tab, at times I can't get it to return. By exiting app and re-enabling it it seems to work. Usable but not flawlessly as it was before upgrade.

I got it working with my Sony A7R IV A. (you show it as untested). Seems to work perfectly. If users have trouble, make sure they have their Sony in PC Remote with USB. Also, I had to go to Setup4 menu and put USB LUN setting on "single". Also, make sure drive mode is "Single Shooting", in order to set camera to "BULB".

Thanks ZWO, and get the Nikon Z9 enabled as soon as you can! 🙂

I am interested in if it is able to autofocus Sony A7R4 lenses using the internal lens focus motor or do you need an external focus motor and drive belt.

Thanks

PMTeam@ZWO

Ispybadguys sorry, no

lenn1 Those look saturated to me. I would use the ISO invariant setting for the camera and reduce the integration time. Increasing the ISO beyond the invariant setting just reduces dynamic range without reducing the noise. For my A7R4 this is ISO 500 so I shoot everything at ISO 500.

Since updating to newest firmware two nights ago my Plus is acting weird. I randomly decides it can't see my primary camera. It suddenly loses WIFI which it has never done before.

PMTeam@ZWO

User 1 Please be careful not to let the USB3.0 cable close to the antenna
2 Connect the camera to the computer to see if it can be recognized
3 Replace the cable and try the USB port

PMTeam@ZWO

In the future, we will gradually improve the support for Sony cameras

Relativist

PMTeam@ZWO Thanks, when you do please include the Sony a5100, it should be very straight forward since it's very similar to the others.

PMTeam@ZWO How long does the implementation of these cameras get added?

PMTeam@ZWO

jsg Google store is still under review

Relativist

PMTeam@ZWO Can you add support from the Amazon Fire app store? My daughter uses her Amazon fire 10" tablet and I currently have to side load the android app. It would be great if I could have it in her profile.

PMTeam@ZWO

lenn1 Try turning off the zebra crossing display function, ISO noise reduction function, and long exposure noise reduction function.
If it still doesn't work, please submit a log， Thank you very much

lenn1

PMTeam@ZWO I checked my camera. All of those settings were already off.
I never had those issues when i shot with just the camera.

Ispybadguys

PMTeam@ZWO I don't know what you use in your software but Gphoto2/Libphoto2 support changing the manual focus position of Sony Lens. The only issue is that the manual focus command can only move the lens +/- 7 steps for larger moves need to be broken up into multiple commands to move 7 or fewer steps at a time. I don't own an ASIAIR but would buy one if it could focus my Sony camera.
