ASIAIR v2.3 has been released!

Skolgi

I just watch a Youtube video for 2.3 Software and the Guy showed the outgreyed Mosaic Button.

He Also showed that it is not longer possible to manual rotate the Camera with the help of Asiair.

As that funktion is absolute critical for me as i cant reach my Imagetrain after pointing to the sky - i hope that this is a bug that this feature is gone!

Skolgi Hello, this is not the case. If CAA is not connected, all previous functions including mosaic, rotate, and frame are retained. If the mosaic and rotation buttons are grayed out, it is because the ASIAIR does not record the current camera angle. You only need to shoot in preview mode and then plate solve and synchronize, and all functions will be normal.

ksI7tQhB Hello. Shoot in preview mode and plate solve it. After the solve is successful, everything will be normal.

PMTeam@ZWO OK, many thanks! I'll try this as soon as the sky clears, and report back 🙂

PMTeam@ZWO Hi again, I confirm - after shooting in Preview mode and plate solving the Mosaic feature works as expected! 🙂 Thanks!
However - it would be great to be able to use the Mosaic for planning the session in advance, say, using one of the images stored on SD card. Is it possible somehow? If I plate solve one of the stored images it doesn't show in the Preview screen, nor is its FOV showing in the planetarium (it was always like this, so I'm not saying it's some sort of a bug - it just would be great to be able to setup Mosaic plans in advance).

~~I just updated, and my Sony A1 (which worked before) doesn't connect anymore. Anytime I try to enable it in the ASIAir app, I get the dialogue that the device has changed and needs to be re-enabled.~~

Never mind, bad USB cable.

Camera PC control is still not working for the Sony A7rV. I own 4 different ZWO cameras, but like to be able to use this camera with the ASIAir as well. It still requires an intervalometer cable to do so.

PMTeam@ZWO

nhmorgan Hello. Sony A7R V is on our support list. You can try it by connecting.

nhmorgan

PMTeam@ZWO It is indeed on the supported camera list, but it doesn't work with the ASIAir Plus or Mini. The camera will connect to the ASIAir and will download images from the camera, but the ASIAir won't control the camera without a shutter release cable. It says "exposure failure." The problem is with the ASIAir software.

Hi, after upgrading the app to v2.3, my AM5 doesn't respect my AMF settings anymore. It now stops tracking and starts flipping 5 minutes before/after meridian, although I set both to 1 minute. Could you check why this happens? Thanks!

PMTeam@ZWO

itaqmail Hello. Are you using IOS or Android? What is your AM5 firmware version?

zephirus

Dear ZWO, when I ran the new 2.3 version app, it triggered a firmware update. The firmware install went to 31% and just stopped. My firmware version is showing 11.56. Is all okay?

PMTeam@ZWO

zephirus Hi. You can perform the following steps:
1 Click on the “i” icon and use "Reset Firmware"
2 Uninstall the ASIAIR APP
3 Re-download the ASIAIR APP from the App Store, you will be reminded to update the firmware after downloading.

When will we get support for different gain on guidecam depending on filter in 2600mm duo??

Nat74

janekosa also a automatic procedure to measure the EAF backslash. Will be easy to implement

Nat74

PMTeam@ZWO update done. For the next update I suggest this feature: the option to assign a specific gain value under AF parameters for each filters, and not only th exposure time. Now the gain is the same used to get the images, usually the optimal one (like 100 for my asi2600MC). But when you use filters will be great to perform AF procedure with a higher gain, like the max value. This will help to get better results with dim stars. Thanks

PMTeam@ZWO

Nat74 Thanks for the suggestion, I'll feed it back to the development team for consideration

PMTeam@ZWO iOS and firmware 1.3.7. I've upgraded the AM5 mount to the newest version, lemme try again in the next few days

nhmorgan Sony will never work with Asiair, there isn't even official PC driver. Where is ZWO supposed to get the driver from?

nhmorgan

One really useful feature would be the ability to perform tilt analysis in the app for adjustments. Since ZWO sells tilt adjuster plates, but there is currently no way to make those adjustments without connecting to a PC.

whereisclouds This is entirely irrelevant, the ASIAir isn't running on Windows. It's most likely using libgphoto2, which does support most Sony mirrorless cameras. With that said, using a remote shutter cable isn't the end of the world and it works just fine with that.
