Kevin_A my fear is that they impliment this in the next release of asiair.
No problem. Just switch to INDIGO Sky (if you use Raspberry Pi or Mac laptop) or N.I.N.A. (if you use a Windows laptop).
The nice thing with INDIGO is that you can implement any idea that you want.
If you want to stick to ASIAIR, you'll need to use a guide scope with a longer focal length to compensate for the larger MinMo. (Just think -- the folks using 120mm focal length "guide scopes" would be really hung out to dry.) A 500mm-ish focal length guide scope should do it, albeit you may not be able to push the camera gain to get 20 dB beyond 12 stars.
This is crazy, since it took me two years to convince Sam that the RST-135 (ditto Avalon M-zero, but especially RST-135) needed 0 MinMo. So they changed from 0.2 pixels to 0.1 pixels. Now they are going to change it back and ruin all the strain wave mounts out there, including their own. (Just when I now know how to tune the ASIAIR to get 0.35" total RMS consistently with my RST-135e. 0.4" total with an RST-135 that has the relative encoder instead of absolute encoder.) Their funeral, not my decision to worry about -- I can experiment with my own autoguide code by using INDIGO.
