Coriorda started following SGL 2021 Challenge 1 - Satellites , 31mm vs 1.25 filters for asi1600pro , Remote control of Asiair 100m away ? and 3 others

Correcting with flats is I think missing the point. The area affected has a lower SNR so you need to avoid vignetting happing in the first place not correct for it

Remote control of Asiair 100m away ?
Coriorda replied to Coriorda's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Thank you for your detailed consideration and response it’s been really helpful, and seems a simple solution, I am on the Ethernet limit but do have the ability to boost signal half way. Thank you -
Remote control of Asiair 100m away ?
Coriorda replied to Coriorda's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Thanks I’ll check it out, networks aren’t really my thing so all help is appreciated - thanks -
Remote control of Asiair 100m away ?
Coriorda replied to Coriorda's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
And what sort of range from the house is your rig, still concerned that 100m may be too far ? -
Remote control of Asiair 100m away ?
Coriorda replied to Coriorda's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Thanks a really useful video, all I need to do now is try to understand it ! 😀 -
Hi I have an imaging rig that is typically set up at the end of the garden about 100m from my house. I have and Asiair pro which handles the imaging sequencing, mount, camera, guiding, focussing etc etc. I can obviously control this all via my iPad if I’m standing next to the rig, but my question is how can I control it all from the comfort of my home 100m away? My home WiFi obviously doesn’t reach that far nor can broadcast a signal that far from the Asiair. if it helps at all there is mains power at about the halfway point. Any suggestions gratefully received thanks

Long distance Asiair control
Coriorda replied to Coriorda's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Thanks David, I’ve heard about directional Ariel, but will this cope with the distances I’m considering do you think ? Thanks -
Long distance Asiair control
Coriorda replied to Coriorda's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Thank you much appreciated, I’ll take a look at the group. Thanks -
Hi Everyone, I’ve recently purchased an Asiair and absolutely love it, but would like to control it from further away. My imaging site is about 120m from my house, I would like to control it from indoors if possible rather than walking up there and connecting to see what’s going on in the imaging session. My question therefore is how can I access the Asiair / control the session from 120m away. Is it a combination of extenders and cables? And if so how must they be connected. If it’s any use there is mains power access at about the halfway point. Does anyone have experience of controlling the Asiair at this range. Thanks in advance

Hi Stu, simple answer is yes you can. I have a red dot finder attached to show using those attachment points which leaves the handle as the mount point for my guide scope 😁 hope that helps -
Astromodded DSLR or astro camera
Coriorda replied to StuartT's topic in Getting Started With Imaging
The other consideration is in terms of simplicity, an Astro cam will require a laptop, plus additional power. Might be a consideration if you are having to travel to your imaging site -

Here’s a single 1min sub from a stack of Andromeda. One of Elon’s many creations scores a direct hit on the core. Shot with Canon 600d, attached to WO ZS73 ISO 800 60s F8D77C5D-0962-4FE0-963B-28982C0C0268.tiff -
Hi John, Both models are 240Wh (Watt hours), the expensive one just seems to have a higher peak output, which I doubt you will need for Astrowork. Watts hours by themselves are irrelevant without knowing the voltage supplied. Lets say this is 12v DC as per the outputs on the power bank required to power the mount. So this gives 240Wh/12v = 20Amp hours . So if your rig drew 2amps, you would get 10hrs usage. (2amps x 10 hours = 20amp hours) All theoretical of course and cold weather and other factors inevitably mean you will get less, but that's the theory. Hope that helps.

Hi, I purchased mine about 6 weeks ago, but you are quite right to point out that gremlins may yet appear - time will tell on the one and my fingers are crossed. I take you point about the obscure seller in my link, I would never purchase from them myself , having never heard of them, was just trying to provide an example of what I was talking about in the link,- That's a lesson learned for the future for me I think. Cheers
