ASI Air plus brief additional thoughts

In a quest to get the AA+ to work with the azgti in alt az mode, I’ve been flitting back and forth with stellarmate.

1. Stellermate works with the azgti in AZ mode, without issue.
2. AA+ has a nicer interface, and the new atlas feature is very nice.
3. The SM works with 5v! That means a power bank usb! That’s phenomenal. Enough even to power the ssd that runs the OS.
4. AA+ recognizes all my devices in a snap inc my canon r5. Slightly more fiddly with the SM. But it gets there never the less.
5. One major downside of the AA+ is that native software is mobile device only (IOS/android). It doesn’t run on Mac OS or windows natively. There is no specific software on these platforms. A bit strange that. There are work arounds, but SM has native software for most platforms, or u can just ip into the device from a browser and fully control it. I often prefer sitting at a bigger computer screen when doing EAA.

Enjoying comparing these 2, whilst currently in Covid isolation!

Cheers
