With intuitive app control, you can manage your entire imaging session from your smartphone or tablet, eliminating the need for a traditional laptop-based setup.
Wireless Connectivity with Dual-Band WiFi
One of the standout features of the ASIAIR Mini is its dual-band WiFi capability, offering both 2.4GHz and 5GHzoptions for a stable and fast connection. Whether you're setting up in a crowded WiFi environment or in the middle of a remote dark-sky site, you can control your telescope from a distance without interference.
