I have been using ASI Air for 1.5 years and have loved it because they do all of this {crap} for you. So why am I here?
I am jumping to mono and the ASI Air does not have the one thing I really need: filter focus offset. Since I live in an area where I don't have a lot of imagimg time I don't want to spend 1/2 the night with focusing between each filter and despite urging by many, ZWO has no interest in spending any more time/ money on improving the AA software. So here I am downloading and juggling all of these third party apps to make a go of it. BTW, not my 1st rodeo with all of this as I started out with APT. But I'm in the mood so...a shout out and huge thank you to Sascha for this excellent tutorial! Wish me luck getting it all to work.

I am new to NINA and your Easy AS 1-2-3 is just what I needed to get going.

Thought I knew everything I needed to know about NINA, but this video showed me a few settings I needed to change/reconsider.
Now on to part two. :)

Thank you for preparing this 3 part series, . You have done a succinct and clear easy to follow videos and you have a pleasant demeanor while demonstrating direct to the point line to follow for a newbie to NINA to get up and running. I watched all 3 parts and will keep them as my on line 'manual'..

The ASIAIR is basically an Astroberry designed for ZWO astro systems. You can buy a Pi 4 for about $80 and do the same thing with the added benefit of being able to use a much wider selection of equipment. Personally, I prefer to use a mini-PC with N.I.N.A and control the entire rig using VNC on my desktop in my home.

This is very timely for me. I have been an ASIAIR user since I began to get interested in astrophotography, but with a dome in my near future, I figured I should try NINA and all that. I have the Quieter PC all set up with it and have spent the past several months trying to get NINA to work as seamlessly as the ASIAIR does, so far without any success. I had a ton of issues with my focus in NINA, while the ASIAIR focuses without trouble. I also have been noticing that the lag in controlling the Quieter2 PC from my Mac in the house is getting worse and worse, and I have no idea why.

Nice easy tutorial about how to set it up, Can it do mosaics?

[haraldsteinberg]

Grüezi, Thank you for your présentation. I use various EOS Canon cameras. NINA only produces images in grayscale? What do I have to pay attention to when making the settings?

Hi,
I am running windows 8.1 on my laptop, will nina work with my system?

When you have D/L Sky Atlas and Offline Sky Map, where do you place the files, once they have been unpacked.

Asi air is so much easier. I use it with my PC and not my mobile or tablet.

Volume cranked up full and barely audible. Sorry.
