Using the ASIAIR with just your DSLR/Mirror-less camera to locate targets. 

Thank you for not deleting the trouble shooting scenes and clear instructions. 👏👏👏

Just learning this ASIAir. A great teaching tool with real life results. This is the trouble shooting that the ZWO manuals ignore. Thanks! Clear skies!

Very cool to see you exposing the trouble shooting

Thanks for doing this, very helpful for those of us considering this kind of setup. For what it's worth, I very much appreciate your mis-steps - e.g., battery dying. Turns out I'm not the only one who occasionally forgets to check important stuff. 😊 (A couple weeks ago I took some test images to try to get my lens focused, increasing ISO each time because no stars were visible in the field... spend a good 10 minutes on this before realizing the lens cap was on... In the immortal words of the philosopher Homer (Simpson), DOH!)

Just got an ASIAir mini for my Canon DSLR / Star Adventurer set up so this video has been very useful. Thank you.

Thank you very much for this video. I thought it required a shutter cable also. That's nice to know that the USB is enough

Thank you for this video! I requested this i think in one of your previous videos. Gonna buy the asi air soon !

This answered several questions I had. Thanks for the video

Have you thought of doing a video on the All Sky Polar Alignment that is in the new software for the ASIAir. Most of the videos I've seen are for GOTO mounts and not for mounts like you are using or the Skywatcher Adventurer 2i.

Great video. When I center target on Asiair screen (iPhone) in the actual camera frame it appears upper right corner. I guess after PS a few frame shots will be necessary.

Good video One suggestion would it be better if you use focusing options to find or center the object it will take photos none stop

If I was getting started, I would just save a little while longer and just get a go to mount. Once you get polar aligned, you can do everything from inside the house, and it only takes a few seconds to find your target. The time you save is worth the extra cost.

Excellent video. Thank you.

Very helpful, thank you!

In this DSLR setup, why don't we connect the mount and the Asiair with the ST-4 port? Does Asiair app make a digital tracking of the stars? How does the tracking accuracy compare with the setup which a mount is counted to the Asiair?

Thank you for your help

I enjoyed this video. A very “real” first night out under the stars example, minus the swearing. 😂

Ty for this very informative

This is amazing! It answers quite a few questions I had. For a target Ra and Dec, do the values not change by the time you are close enough to capture it in your frame?

Thank you for your video. I am new to this!. I have always adjusted my iOptron manually. Can you explain exactly what you were doing when you used the buttons to move it? TIA

This was amazing, I thought that I also needed a guid scope and 120mm camera to do this. What would be the difference in having that extra equipment ? And also connecting the asiair to the connection on the skyguider instead or both camera and skyguider ? Any info will be helpful.

I noticed you didn't hook up into the snap port, yet the Air still was able to take the picture? I thought the DSLR snap port on the Air needed to be connected to camera? So I could use a D850 with the Air Plus along with autoguiding with a 120mm guide cam for any length of exposure I need without using the snap port? What is a snap port for then if you can still take a picture with hooking it up? Thanks for your help in advance.

Thank you I have the same camera! How are the images from the D7100? Also for the camera lens do you use the mm of the lens times the crop factor?

When you use this do you set you camra in bulb mode and use basically like a trigger trap?

Which camera port are you plugging the cord into? Remote Control Terminal? Mic? AV and USB? HDMI?

I have another question, The images captured are stored as fits files on the Asiair, from what I have seen ? unfortunately I cannot use those file types, does the Nikon camera also store the images as raw files, as I would want to use the NEFS for editing ?

Do you polar alignment with the Asiair? The procedure isn't clear. It takes an initial picture at the 0 position where Polaris is, then asks you to rotate. Then you adjust, but do you need to bring it back to 0 to start adjustments? Generally, I find that a polar alignment with an App is sufficient but it seemed to help tne fine tuning even if I muddled through it. What is the longest exposure you can take? I can do 90 seconds unguided with a 80-200mm f2.8 lens. As much as I love the hobby, I've spent as much as I can simply by buying a Sky Adventure Pro, carbon tripod, and the multitude of gadgets required to make it all work together with my Canon camera. Proud of pictures, most recent the Heart nebula shot in narrowband lenhance filter. The light pollution is a pain fome a big city. Even though the plate solving is a game changer, it still takes a long time to find targets, frame it properly without changing focus. Thanks for your comments and videos.

Great video. You might want to do a video using a FujiFilm X series. Because those cameras are not located in the AsiAir profile. How do we get it to work? That would be great. Thanks

Very interesting video for beginners like me but I didn't understand if the images are saved on Asiair or in the camera

Really nice video. Is it possibl, to use the polar alignment feature with this setting (without a got mount)? The user helpdesk of ZWO told me so.

Does asi air plus work with Nikon z30?

Nice video . Very helpful. I don't like this 12v power input requirement no battery bank offers that. Automotive batteries r bulky . Pls suggest

The sad thing is this only works with cameras fully supported by the ASIAir :(

Very helpful! Thank you very much!
