Hi Josh
Thanks. I have a manual rotator at that location on the Esprit. It works well with the new ASIAIR rotation assistant. It would be so good if is this was automated. However I think that it’s unlikely a company would create an automated rotator for each scope model and more likely to release a generic rotator to fit in the backfocus part of the the imaging train.
The automated process would involve taking shots, plate solving, comparing position, repeating etc then recalibrating the guiding if using an OAG.
Just having this new manual rotation in ASIAIR is fantastic - hardly any cropping when using a OSC then shooting same target with Mono narrowband (same size sensor) and combining the stacks.
