The Slewing functions from object to object are what stand out initially, while watching the icon of the position of the scope travel from start to stop.
The ASIair excels when the Plate solving is needed both to calibrate the mount alignment and align on the DSO or other object at the end of the slew.
The feature that makes the ASIair cumbersome is that while rough focus and moving the scope position manually, the time it takes to cycle the camera movement while making small adjustments to pointing the telescope to a chosen object, using the direction icons.
What it amounts to is real time visual feedback of where the telescope is pointing. much like the ASIair video mode which is limited to 1080 mode maximum.
You have a fantastic product and it is amazing that for $ 399, what you can do pretty well.
As I mentioned in my original post. having now connected my equipment to Ethernet it is amazing how much quicker things operate.
I am guessing there is a tradeoff when using a Raspberry Pi system to do so much.
