SFj9LuNr The new version Celestron firmware HC:GEM 5.35.3175 should fix this problem.
Did you try that?

I had this update before the last time I tested my ASIAir.

This update ruined my night out (my fault for installing it before testing it at home). Guiding screen was broken. The screen was black when looping even though the gain was cranked up and the exposure set to 2s. It wasn't an issue with the camera (ASI174MM) because I set it as the main camera and was able to get a decent number of stars with a 0.5 exposure in preview mode. I rebooted the air and I could briefly see stars when looping before it went black again.

Also on the guide camera setup screen it was spelled: "Giude Camera"

Check the dark frame option for guide camera?

Totally your own fault. Why on earth you download and install BETA version and do not test it before actual picture taking? Stupid thing to do and you are the only one to be blamed. Never do that. You always must have a possibility and time after testing to roll back to earlier working version if the BETA version do not work. If you don't understand that, you should stay in official releases, you are not suitable person for beta testing.

Good morning, I had the same issue with guiding with the BETA ASIAIR [V2.1.4 - 11.06], the guide screen on my IOS IPAD was almost dark/black and the stars were saturated, I did then finally deactivate the DARK FRAME OPTION for the guider camera and ´restart again the ASIAIR only then the screen did look much better, I will not use the DARK LIBRARY / OPTION for the GUIDER CAMERA anymore..

Good luck to all

I decided to give my ASIAir Plus 256 another indoor test after downloading and installing the newest ASIAir beta release and firmware. I wanted to see if the issue I was having with manual slewing, mainly in DEC, had been fixed. I had an issue with my AVX mount would not stop slewing when I lifted my finger off the control icon on my iPad. I’m pleased to report the manual slew controls seem to be working properly now.

I will now test guiding and Live mode for “Mount Disconnect” errors. When in Live mode and during guiding and real time stacking I would see the “Mount Disconnect” error. Live mode would work fine without guiding. Just need to wait for the weather now.

It's a clear night am I trying to test the new firmware. I'm using an AVX mount with the latest handset firmware 3175.

I take an initial test shot towards the NCP and it plate solves OK.

Now on to PA. I press to start it takes the first photo and plate solves
I press Next. Nothing happens for several long seconds then the mount starts to move at 9x speed as it normal has done.
The RA Axis rotated 0 degree, but as the mount moves to the West the degrees never increments
Then the mount speed switches to a lower speed and stops. Still shows 0 degrees.
Nothing happens. It's been 10 minutes now.

I shut down and rebooted but same issue.

I've never had issues with PA though out this beta but it seems to be broken at least with my AVX mount or maybe my ASIAir Plus 256.

Hey, ZWO, Celestron is having a sale on AVX mounts. Buy one and test ASIAir with it.

I wrote a bug report.

I see I'm in the wrong Beta thread. I'm on 2.1.5 (11.08).

Followup to my previous post. I tried last night and Polar Alignment procedure worked as designed.

I also ran a Live mode session with stacking and saving files, 60 sec exposures for an hour and no "mount disconnect" errors using my AVX mount with handset firmware 3175.

I'm going to keep testing Live mode session with longer exposures and longer sessions. Hopefully this problem is finally fixed.
