    Mamete Noted, thanks for your advice. BTW, did you use the Roatte Assist in the SkyAltas?

    Yes of course, the rotation in the sky atlas works well but only on the preview. To have a perfect reference you need to see the features of N.i.n.a. , Thank you

      Is it going to be offered on Google Play Store as all of the other ZWO apps?

      Thanks,
      Jerry

        jsg I'm waiting on it in the play store also.

          There no Sony A6300 in the list. Will there be any support for this model later?

            I tried it yesterday with my Sony Alpha 6000 and a sony 50mm lens. There is something wrong with the stars. Every sub looks like this.
            I thought its a bug with the ASIAIR app but the subs are really looking like this in the final image.

            Images are taken at ISO 400 - 1600 and 30s-60s exp time. All of the brighter parts and stars look like this.

              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.

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

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

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

                  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

                        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.
