This might be a stupid question but when I am using asiair pro with ipad, Do I(or should I) have to keep ipad or android phone connected while it is tracking?
I have used asiair pro now only once with iOptron skyguider pro with guide scope. I got very good results. It was pretty easy to set up. I had watched many tutorials from youtube about it so all aligment and setting up went smoothly. But when it started tracking I kept the android phone connected to it for whole two hours just to make sure it works...
But is it really necessary? Can i leave the device unwatched and without ipad/android phone connection after it has started properly tracking? I am in belief that Ipad or android is just doing remote desktop to asiair pro or how does is really work?? I am shooting from my summer cottage yard and the wifi network does not reach the house.
On my first try with asiair pro I got really good 4 minute exposures for about two hours with canon 5dsr + 400mm F5.6 lens.
