ASIAIR v2.3 Public Beta Released!

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.

azskyguy

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.

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.

Still no fix for Sony A1

PMTeam@ZWO

skyhunter121 Hello. Sony A1 is on our support list. What problem did you encounter?

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

Set up and imaged with the 2600MC Air last night. Same as previous night, plate solves simply don't work unless I use your alternate method. Polar alignments also still don't work, but the workaround is to use your alternate 3 point method which worked fine. What has happened to plate solves?

Sent logs from the previous night.

Hope you can resolve this.

azskyguy

azskyguy Plate solves for polar alignment still don't work. Have to use the All Sky method. Logs have been sent.

In the release notes for 2.3 it said the image anomaly reported had been fixed. It isn't. Last night imaging I got a corrupted half frame. Once that happens all subsequent frames will be bad, and that ends the imaging session unless I reboot. Please fix this. I've only seen it in the 2600MC Air Camera.

The new beta seems ok, except one important aspect: the guiding doesn't function properly: it increase rapidly to very big values like 9, 10. Please check.

@PMTeam@ZWO : Also, an extremely important functionality that is still missing for Autorun and Plan is center after drift - it is crucial, because, in the case of a prolonged session, if they are clouds for example for an hour or two, when the clouds disappear the target is no longer centered.

Center after drift is a nice idea from SF3Zd52D 👍

PMTeam@ZWO

SF3Zd52D Hello. Could you please send us the log? We need to check your guide log. Thank you.

Thanks for your suggestion. I will give it to the development team for consideration in future updates.

Still not resolved is this nasty start screen rotating error on my ipads. First landscape (horizontal) mode with a sky object in red, then it rotates to the side with an image of the ASIAIR plus and "enter device", next scrren is your APO telescope which rotates upside down, then there is a screen to connect on of my two ASIAIRs (still upside down). an the it enters finally the "as easy as 1-2-3" screen (upside down. Then you have to hard stop the app and restart another time the whole APP with 4 screens to get it right, or you turn your whole ipad 180° around. I have never seen such an stupid start of an app. I would request to have an option to disable all the start screens and go directly in the app. Same when I change to my other ASIAIR - no questions needed.

My other recommodation would be an automatic temperature coefficient calculation. after some nights and some dozends AF procedures the EAF (with temperature sensor) should know the right focus position depending on the temperature. Should be easy to implement and would be very helpful.

My last wish is the maximum AF step size - in the moment limited to max. 200. I use a Planewave CDK17 and a Celestron RASA36 with the ZWO EAF, to adapt them to these big telescopes I built a toothed belt drive with very fine transmission for high precision. I need a AF step size of 1000 or at least 500 AF step size for a proper parabolic curve.

Hello. Could you please send us a video about this problem? We tested it and found no similar problem. Maybe the video can provide us with more details. Thank you. You can send the video to the email address: luffy.liu@zwoptical.com.

Please consider adding ASIAIR power port controls (on, off, %) to the autorun process.

hyiger

Filter offsets please! I would like to avoid having to run autofocus between filter changes.

gduffett

user Defined park position for people with roll off observatories please or at least what is available in the ascom driver.

Prismokay

I have a request for the EAF controls to be expanded, I would like to see a custom focus interval be added, with the ability to time it based on exposure amount, or a custom time interval versus a set list of numbers to choose.

PMTeam@ZWO

azskyguy Hi, from the picture, it seems that you are using version 2.2.2. You can download the 2.3 public beta version to see if it can solve this problem. Thank you.
