Synchronization of 2 ASIAIR devices - Dithering

They said, that they took the dithering topic into consideration. But it seems to be too complex so it will not come anytime soon.

"....CAA is on the to-do list and will be released this year.
For the dithering sync between two ASIAIR Plus, actually we have considered this, due to its complexity and also need to compatible with exsiting feature, may not be determined soon. ..."

When ? Are you admitting that NINA developers are better than yours. You can control multiple cameras in NINA, why is it so hard to implement in the ASIAIR ? I already own 3 ASIAIR but if we can’t have this feature I don’t see the point in buying the next ASIAIR PLUS PRO MAX IV .

I have had to switch to NINA to control my side by side mount and use their synchronized dithering feature. This is a market lost to ZWO as the side by side OTA use continues to grow with AP folks. This needs to be seriously addressed as a firmware upgrade to the ASIAIR.

The only way I can work this without throwing away masses of data from the unsynchronized cameras is to stick to shorter exposures like 60s. Or if you have the means just use another mount but obviously added costs.

So do we have an update? There are literally hundreds of us waiting for this. The number of people who would go out and buy a second Asiair straight away if this feature was implemented would literally mean it pays for itself in terms of R&D. For those like me who get maybe 10-15 clear nights a year this is a game changer that needs to happen. I’m sorry to say that if it isn’t on the horizon I may have to reluctantly switch to NINA.

They don't want us to buy more ASIAIR, they want us to buy more SEESTAR !

Would be so good to have this. Id be happy to stay in the ZWO ecosystem using the asiair exclusively if this feature gets added. Please add this so we can avoid getting windows pc's. It would be amazing if we can keep astrophotography simple & streamlined using only the AsiAir. 🙏🏻

[unknown] That,s actually what I have been doing as well as a band aid in the interim.

Yes, if we can get this (plus rotator and flip-flat support), then no reason to ditch the ASIAIR for remote imaging at all. It's the final piece of the puzzle.

Is there any update? Just got myself into a dual scope setup. I hope I don't have to buy another ASI AIR

vGiP2L8A the ASIAIR doesn't support a dual scope setup. It never has. It's always been more focused on simplicity which comes with limitations.

For more complex setups such as dual scope setups etc you're much better off going with a mini-pc such as a Quieter 3/4C running Windows with tools such as NINA.

In general, never buy a product based on future, unreleased, functions or functions you hope will be supported. Always buy or use a product based on what it does now.
