ASIAIR v2.5 Public Beta Released!

Touptek's Stellavita is also a workable alternative; they've clearly done a lot of work over the past 6 months.
However its UI is seriously ugly and non-intuitive, but once you figure it out it's possible to use it.
It supports no-ZWO equipment as well as ZWO, exposes many more options to tweak the guiding in PHD2, and much more of NINA.

ZWO you now have a real competitor that will eat your lunch if you don't get the bugs fixed.

Yes, we will keep the v2.3.3 Testflight link available for a period of time to provide users with a way to roll back to the previous version.

PMTeam@ZWO

Luxo Thank you for your test, Nico. I received your email and will reply to you via email later regarding a few minor issues you encountered during your test.

PMTeam@ZWO

azskyguy We suspect an exposure failure occurred; the "preparing" status indicates a retry is in progress. Our team is working on an optimization, and I will send you a sample version with a fix once it's available.

PMTeam@ZWO There's no question. "exposure failure" flashes on the screen after I cancel Autorun. One of my contacts at ZWO support suggested I RMA the camera back, but don't want to do that if it is a software issue. On the other hand, I've seen this issue for at least a year. I didn't get the freeze on 'preparing' on older versions of the software, but the camera would stick on 'loading' and then refuse to download the image.

Any advice appreciated.

And thanks

PMTeam@ZWO

Holmbo We plan to optimize the implementation in future versions and release it only after it's stable.

Hello everyone,

Thank you very much for taking the time to do this.

To my knowledge, this issue has already been raised several times, and it shouldn't be too difficult to address.

Why have the calibration images been organized in the same way as the lights with a description of what the object is? E.g., folder “Darks”—object ‘M51’ or Flats “M1.”

Many thanks.

I take my calibration frames in Live Mode for Live Stacking (for EAA). Because of this I take my calibration frames before I do my viewing/imaging. I find they are saved correctly under Live > Dark, Live > Flat and Live > Bias.

This is with 2.4.3 (I haven't tried 2.5 yet).

Is your issue happening with Autorun/Plan Mode?

I rarely need the Plan Mode, so it shouldn't be a problem to implement this. It is also possible to complete file names with variables.

Sorry, I wasn't logged in.

PMTeam@ZWO in testflight it report - there are no new testers available. I am on last beta test version now and there are untranslated parts..

PMTeam@ZWO It looks like some nice features have been added to this update. Thanks ZWO. However, when I suggested some time ago to add a "custom park" feature I was suggesting it for all mounts as most all mounts are already supported with the ASIAir. I certainly hope this only being supported for ZWO mounts is only the first step in moving towards supporting all mounts. Can you elaborate on any plans that this feature is going to be supported for other mounts in the future as well?

Now for the Elephant that is still in the room. Wifi disconnects. Is there ANY software/firmware updates planned that is going to help resolve the repetitive wifi disconnects the ASIAir Plus suffers from?
I have used wifi repeaters, tried installing larger and stronger signal antennas, using station mode with the home wifi (which is useless because of the 10.0.0.xx issue). Even with all those variations the disconnects continue to happen. Even when being within 10ft of the rig.

Thanks for your consideration.

Dsqh3WbQ when the WIFI disconnects, how the SYS led on ASIAIR is?
If it is steady off I think the ASIAIR software is crashed. This happens to me and I need to power cycle the ASIAIR.
If the sys led is blinking so it is a pure WiFi issue.
Regards,
Paolo

Currently, there are no plans to support other mounts.

PMTeam@ZWO

Dsqh3WbQ
Could you please let us know the specific model of your ASIAIR device?

PMTeam@ZWO

Dsqh3WbQ
Regarding the Wi-Fi disconnection issue you’ve experienced, our technical analysis suggests this is often related to interference in the 2.4GHz band, which is commonly congested with IoT devices at home.

We recommend trying the following steps, which can greatly improve connection stability:

Switch to a 5GHz Wi-Fi network if your router and ASIAir Plus support it. The 5GHz band is generally cleaner and less prone to interference.

When using Station mode, make sure your router does not assign an IP address in the 10.0.0.x range to the ASIAir. It should work normally once assigned an IP in a different subnet (e.g., 192.168.x.x).

Please give these a try—they should help significantly. If the issue persists, feel free to share more details about your setup.

Thank you for your patience and feedback.

PMTeam@ZWO Will this be for all mounts or ZWO mounts only?

PMTeam@ZWO

Dsqh3WbQ
Currently, only the ASImount is supported.

I don't trust ZWO to be able to do this without creating more bugs, especially when it involves switching tracking off.

Thanks for taking the time to write up a manual, Nico. The ZWO Support information can be a struggle to locate and is often well out of date.

Where will you be posting up your updated Missing Manual?

Ross.

It will be hosted on Mega.NZ.com.
There is a thread for it on Cloudynights at

Thanks, Nico. I'm following along over on CN now.
Hopefully ZWO continues the trend of attaching a PDF with new releases. It would be even better if we also get something like your manual as standard.

Clear skies.

Revert to 2.3.3. PLAN worked.

PMTeam@ZWO That is disappointing to hear.

PMTeam@ZWO It's the ASIAir Plus.
