I can confirm that the Sony Alpha 6000 is now fully functional and no longer displays those colored dots. I appreciate your assistance! I was starting to lose hope and had considered selling it.
I couldn't try it at night bc of the weather these days. but my test in daylight was very pleasing.

    Kevin_A I dont know how you could even check but it was pretty obvious minmo had been increased.

    lenn1 Thanks for this! I may have to give my a6000 with ASIAIR a good run as well once the weather clears up 🙂

      eokorie79 make sure that your battery is well charged or use a dummy battery

      Kring my iPad starts in portrait for the splash screen and then switches to landscape once enter is pressed. I don’t see the problem.

        How can this beta version be classed as 2.1.2 when in February 2023 zwo released beta version 2.1.49?

        Having a MinMo of 0.2 is still proving to be a problem for my AM5 mount compared to 0.1
        It just makes for clunky, laggy oversized corrections. I even tried dropping the guide speed to 0.25X at 0.5s guide exposures and no difference.

          Double your guide camera focal length and/or use a smaller pixel (mono!) camera like the QHY678M could help. Never ever use a Bayer color camera for multi-star guiding, even in the near IR region -- the average centroid will drift around by large fractions of a pixel as the stars scintillate independently.

            w7ay i use a 290mm mini on a 240mm guide scope. Who uses a colour guide cam ? Gain is 200 with 12 stars. The doubling of the minmo has almost doubled the guiding rms.

            andybutt What is not a problem for some may be for others. Just like having a speed control for the fan in ASI2600MM it's not a problem for me but a must for others. And it's OK for them to ask for it even if I don't need it, because me or anyone of us is free to ask for what they need. We are not the center of the universe neither everything orbits only around us selfs. A coherent interface design is what we are asking for, that's all. If that bothers you, sorry.

              minimoto71 I didn’t say it bothered me! I said I didn’t see the problem in my system. Maybe it is a different behaviour with other systems and I was not criticising Kring’s request. Maybe I should have worded my statement better so that you didn’t get upset. Your example of the 2600mc is a completely different issue, which currently cannot be cured (on some long FL systems) by the push of a button. I use a 2600 mc and don’t have the problem at 860mm focal length. I am not criticising people for asking for fan control. Anyway, thank you for your contribution to this thread. I will endeavour in the future to not be so “controversial”

              Image management is still broken in beta build 34... unable to manage any images from USB, app crashes on iOS the second you click a check-box of any image.

                Why is doing any focusing disabled during LIVE mode? shouldn't I be able to pause and focus? I know this functionality has never been there, but this seems like a simple missing piece of functionality.

                Hi! Please add support for 16-bit guiding. Thank you!

                Kring .I have the same problem on IOS, but it works with android.

                3 nights of testing with 3 different setups that were previously tested for guiding accuracy and the results are in and definitive. The guiding on the 135mm Lightweight setup was slightly worse going from 0.7rms to 0.9rms. The guiding on my 300mm medium weight setup was again worse going from 0.6rms to 0.75rms. My heaviest setup at 644mm was the biggest loser as it was consistantly guiding at around 0.45rms and that is now guiding at 0.71rms. @PMTeam@ZWO could you please revert the 0.2 MinMo back to 0.1 MinMo so I can guide at an acceptable number again.

                  PMTeam@ZWO please find attached a before and after guide log and the negative effect the increased Minmo is having on my setup.

                  Hello @PMTeam@ZWO - Is support for the Sony A7RV being planned at all? Thanks.
