Delays affecting Chinese-made products?
Muzz replied to FLO's topic in Sponsor Announcements and Offers
As a customer with an effected preorder I just want to say thank you to all at FLO. I am sure this is a very difficult and time consuming situation for you all to deal with. I certainly appreciate everything you do! (Just like many others here) Things will get back to normal - In the mean time I am enjoying the clouds and gale force winds so it isn't like I would be in a position to use the ASIAIR anyway -
Hi Folks, If critters are a problem use Peanut Butter and the Victor wooden mouse traps (£1.20 each) = No more mouse bowling in clogs in the loft! We’ve had ray and mice problem for years but the peanut butter always gets em. Clear skies Murray

Hi Steve, Not a problem was just curious Any comments by chance on using the ZWO DC adaptor to power the ASIAIR Pro as per above? Thank You!

Congratulations Rob - Just our of sheer curiosity when did you preorder? I am wondering about getting one of these to power the PRO: https://www.firstlightoptics.com/power-accessories/zwo-12v-5a-ac-to-dc-power-supply-adapter-for-cooled-cameras.html I assume it is the right connections and will have enough grunt to power the dew heaters and device itself.

Upcoming ZWO ASIAIR 'Pro'
Muzz replied to Space Oddities's topic in Discussions - Scopes / Whole setups
Hi Folks, So the ASIAIR supports dew heater control however it doesn’t have RCA connections on the box which is a problem for connecting the straps! I see over at the Facebook group there is talk that the below site can supply suitable dew heaters or converting cables if you already have the straps. Straps: https://www.dewcontrol.com/Dew_Heater_Straps_-_All_Sizes/p3099125_14674363. Adaptor Cables: https://www.dewcontrol.com/Power_Cables__-__All_Types/p3099125_13437763.aspx Hope it helps!

As a consumer just wanted to say that the example of how FLO handled this is why I will be a FLO customer for life. We all know how bad other companies in daily life are when things go wrong. Now can I please arrange for collection of these pesky clouds you sent me?

I see its £299 and no mention of dew control - I wonder if I shall just get the pocket power pox instead and just use a laptop in a plastic box connected up to VNC. Having never used an ASIAIR I dont know what I am / am not missing

Does that mean you can buy all the astro gear without running it by the bank manager? I'm off to buy a shed I just need to speak to her indoors first Or just stick the other half in the shed?

Upcoming ZWO ASIAIR 'Pro'
Muzz replied to Space Oddities's topic in Discussions - Scopes / Whole setups
I am in the same boat as you. I was going to get the pocket power box due to not having an anything to combat dew. Hopefully this can control dew strips as it seems to be very handy . I seem to spend a lot of time trying to get the laptop to do what I want it to do! -

Prototype Sky-Watcher Evolux ED Refractors
Muzz replied to FLO's topic in Sponsor Announcements and Offers
Wonder if the QR code works Scratch that I tried it - Shame I was getting excited I thought it was a Columbo moment -
I bought a 600D off MPB - Advertised "Like New" it arrived in a condition I would describe as Good. They must have missed all of the scratches and the gouge mark on the LCD. I managed to get a full refund but just give the camera a good go over when you receive it as it must have been a Friday afternoon when they quality controlled the camera I was after. They did resole the problem I am just not sure it should of occurred in the first place!

ASIair with other cameras
Muzz replied to bryand's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Hi, I have a Mac Mini (Small form PC) running Windows 10 stored in a plastic container and use Microsoft Remote Desktop to connect tot it from the iPhone / iPad / iMac. Its been flawless so far - You just need to be on the same wireless network. I did look at these ASIair but I have a DSLR and this seems more compatible and powerful. I wouldn't go back to using a laptop outside anymore thats for sure Good Hunting! Clear Skies, Murray
