  1. Sorry just re-read your post - could the power connector to the camera be loose?
  2. Lee I've seen this sort of error because of a loose 12v barrel connection to the Asiair, you might be able to replicate it by giving the barrel a very light tap with your finger. To mitigate this I bought a Lynx Astro power cable which has quite a snug barrel connection and then use velcro ties to ensure there is no cable snag on the power cable when slewing.
  3. Similar problem encountered on this thread where ZWO have suggested a voltage or USB cable issue: https://bbs.astronomy-imaging-camera.com/d/16265-asiair-usb3-ports-only-intermittently-generate-exposure-failure-message
  4. Just tried https://www.astrobuysell.com/uk/propview.php and is was OK
  5. Hi you need to include all the calibration frames for each session. Presumably you are using the WBPP script in PI which will allow you to group the appropriate files together by using a keyword prefix. I prefix all the files with "SESSION_YYMMDD_" for each session and WBPP groups the files accordingly. Adam Block has an excellent YT video on this. Eg.:

  16. Hi George I have a similar set up for my travel rig (AZ-GTi, ZWO 294MC Pro, 2Xdew heaters) - I found that this power tank has a tendency to cut out after 90 minutes or so yet still showing 1/2 charge. I suspect it could have been the 2 dew heaters running at 100% drawing too much power causing it to shut down - I've not had a chance to test the theory yet. I chose this powertank as it's 84wH capacity doesn't exceed the 100wH that some airlines specify. (Ryanair limit 160wH).

  18. Re: altitude adjustment for polar aligning. I had to adjust the latitude configuration for my WO wedge recently and found that the rod/bushing was very sticky with grease - i cleaned this up, re-greased and its much smoother - whilst I haven't used it in anger yet I'm hoping this will make latitude adjustment a bit easier when polar aligning.
  19. what guide camera and guidescope are you using?
  20. This might be useful to you: https://eastwindastro.blogspot.com/2021/02/how-to-adjust-asiair-guide-aggression.html
  21. Or the saddle upgrade perhaps: https://www.firstlightoptics.com/adm/adm-dual-saddle-upgrade-for-sky-watcher-eq6-r-pro-mounts.html
  22. Nikon D610 should be supported by ASI AIR+ according to ZWO: https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/wp-content/uploads/EN1.jpg
