    About version 2.3 : problem of image angle calculation error again in using the atlas with android tablet. In the version 2.2.2 all is ok but in this v2.3 it’s back.

    And mosaic mode is not available. the icon is here but grayed out, not usable

      Tserge28 Hello. Could you please submit the log and related screenshots? We need more details about your problem. Thank you.

        PMTeam@ZWO Can you PLEASE finally make sure that it is possible to manually set a filter and that that gets written into the FITS headers? This has been requested for many years now! Many thanks in advance!!!

          Yesterday I was out and about with Asiair Plus and beta-firmware 2.3 (Android) + ASI2600MC Pro. Platesolving for polar alignment would not work, although 3000 stars were recognized. After a few attempts back to Preview and there Detect. Back to Polar Alignment and now the Platesolving worked.
          In Preview, the scroll bar for the exposure time remained at 60 seconds and could not be changed to a longer time. In autorun mode, however, 300 seconds was also possible.
          Otherwise the system worked. The meridian flip also worked perfectly.

            Wouter,instead of waiting some more for ZWO (which is forever, now that they are focused on selling more trinkets), at the cost of an EFW, or if like me you already have a spare one from the past, you can always connect an EFW to ASIAIR, whether it is part of the imaging train or not. Just place it on the side, and connected through USB to ASIAIR.

            You can then have a selection of filter names which you can use, and be included in the FITS Header. The ASIAIR would not know any better.

            The EFW can be much smaller than your filters, too. I use a 36mm one that no longer works with the larger sensors today.

            Better solution is still not to be stuck with ASIAIR.

              zwo2_jacky I had a similar experience with the same camera. Went out last night and could not polar align. Same on other star fields. Plate solves were failing 100%. Restarted camera, same issue. Finally used their alternate plate solve method and that worked. Very odd. Never went back to see if regular plate solving worked or not. Will try again tonight.

              However Wifi seemed better, zero disconnects using station mode. And no corrupted images, which was a random, serious problem with the last version.

                Hello. Thanks for the new update. But could you add changing the resolution (as it is in ASISTUDIO) in the 2600AIR?
                And another thing, with the 2600AIR, I imagine that as it happens in the 2600DUO, when using 3nm narrow band filters, it is impossible to track stars with the guide sensor. Thanks

                Sounds like the CAA will be only available for the Duo cameras or dedicated guide scope. As it has 16.5 mm width, it's impossible to use it with an Off-Axis, so it's useless for those of us who have an Off-Axis LF+Filter Wheel+Camera... So we will have to keep rotating manually, I'm afraid.

                  w7ay Chen, that's a great idea. I'll look into that, thanks!

                  azskyguy Still can't polar align.. plate solves fail. That's with the 2600 MC Air. Away from the pole I have to use the alternate plate solve method... this is with Ha/OIII filter.

                    Hello. Could you please send us the error report and screenshots? We need more details about the problem you encountered. Thank you for your help. The premise is that your ASIAIR is not turned off. If it has been turned off, please try polar calibration again. If you encounter an error, send us the log and we will solve it.

                      PMTeam@ZWO I don't understand your meaning. The ASIAIR was turned on and would not plate solve. This time I did not turn it off and back on. I did send logs earlier this evening. You should have them.

                      I'm glad to try anything you suggest.. plate solves worked before this latest update. Of course the ASIAIR is built into the 2600MC Air camera.. so I have to turn off the whole unit. I did try a power cycle the previous night and it made no difference.

                        Testing latest beta. Several issues. Station mode is still not stable. Direct connect 2.5g looses connection every 15-20 minutes. Fix is to turn off wifi on phone and back on. Then it reconnects fine. Bug report with logs sent.

                        azskyguy Hi. After sending the log, our developers will review and comment on it. You can check the follow-up comments on the APP later.
