Did QHYCCD just kill ZWO ASIAIR?

So I am always looking for new stuff and happened to run into Dylan's video on QUARCS. I joined up on Discord and tested out the image but it didn't work on my ASIAIR modded RPi5 but it did work on the stock ASAIR Pro. The big deal here is QUARCS will run from a...

TERRAMASTER + TrueNAS = WIN!

Intro So since I upgraded my workstation it was time to also update my old Synology DS214se that has lasted me with the same 2x1TB WD NAS drives since May of 2015. Sadly it is only 2 bay NAS and not worth adding in the max storage of 12TB as it's an older NAS with...

ASIAIR ANYWHERE

ASIAIR ANYWHERE

Intro So this question came up on the ASIAIR Facebook group about controlling your ASIAIR and Telescope equipment from California and all your gear would be in New Mexico. I thought I would tackle it with some information and also a little know-how since I love doing...

Intro So I have officially gutted an ASIAIR PRO and replaced the internal board with a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM and the new Active Cooler. Based on the benchmarks from Core Electronics, the speed we are looking at is almost double from the RPi 4 to the Pi 5!...
