I'm not against mobile at all. I use my phone to check on my imaging runs all the time. All I need is a web browser to do so.

>>>Laptops are actually more clumsy to hold than a mobile phone, when setting up remotely unless you also bring a folding table :-) Not an "ASI AIr or not" comment. I use my mobile devices (iPad,

I prefer not to overgeneralize and rather share my own experience :-) Mobile devices are hard to use if not using something like ASIAIR. When I'm using NINA (with my remote setup, and also when using

It does not require it. You can disable that. It does have that enabled out of the box though. If APPM was developed to connect to the API for Voyager with admin mode disabled, that would be

I agree fully Ray. I think the options that enable the most choice, ultimately end up being the best investments. Additionally solutions that allow the flexibility to grow along with ones

Bill, does Voyager still require to be run as Administrator? That's a showstopper if so. -Ray

I'm glad you prefaced that with "For me". I've found that many people doing imaging would not want to use a mobile device, which can be hard to use and easy to drop in the dark if you are not careful.

Hi Jim, Congrats. You will never be sorry for this purchase. I think some of the obvious preparation things needed would be: 1. Tripod or pier. You will need some adapter to properly attached

This same result can be achieved with a Mini PC, is my point. Just not with Nina (which is also not the only option) Further, giving up APCC and it's powerful features is something the OP should

There is no reason to endlessly argue about this. If you like to use APCC and Windows even for a portable setup, go for it. For me, ASIAIR is convenient. Single box that has USB ports, power ports,

Hi Patrick, what was the solution? Maybe you can describe it briefly?

Also of interest, the ASI Air uses INDI as its driver model, and they gutted out the non-ASI drivers from it for products they want to force you to buy from them if you use it (i.e. CMOS Cameras, ZWO

ZWO is the company that cannot create an ASCOM driver for their cameras that requires less than 1GB of RAM for a single unbinned image from some of their cameras, and with horrible performance. I

Mini PC like MeLe Quieter2Q or 3Q (very tiny NUC) works great with full frame ZWO camera. Windows 10 or 11 already installed. You can event change the OS to Linux if you prefer. If you change your

It locks people into their products in ways I don't really think is good for the community. Software companies do a great job maximizing decisions for users, not minimizing them. I made no comments

Because it lowers complexity for many users. That’s the reason it’s so successful. Software makers could learn a thing or two from ZWO despite what you might think of them as a company or their

Why on Earth would someone use the ASI Air with an AP mount? APCC comes with all mounts now so it's just silly to give up everything you get with APCC for the Air. Not to mention, that product locks

Congrats! Depends on what you’re currently used to. If you’re not getting the encoders then from my experience even something as simple as ASIAIR works well with the CP4. But if you’re

last week Woodland Hills contacted me that there were some 1100GTO's avalable so I ordered one. only problem is they did not tell me when I would get it . I know that there will be a wait. is there
