Is there a way to command a meridian flip with the ASI Air Plus? I had plenty of room for a flip, but I couldn't figure out how to do it, so I went to bed. I was shooting M51, and when it flipped, it couldn't find a guide star, so the vast majority of 3 hours of images aren't useful. Not only that, but when it flipped, it didn't center the target, which is weird. That has never happened before.
What control software does is...stop imaging before (or at) the meridian. Wait for the scope to cross the meridian. Then issue a GOTO command to go back to the object, which will result in the mount approaching the object from the other side, resulting in a "flip."
You can do the same thing manually if you want to. Stop imaging before the meridian. Wait for the scope to cross the meridian. Issue a GOTO to your object (including plate-solving to center, if you want to). The mount will do the same thing it would do if the software issued the GOTO -- it will approach from the other side. You're all set.
Right, I know how it works normally, but that's not really what I want it to do. I want to tell it to flip prior to the meridian. I'm in bed when it crosses the meridian, so I can't manually do it. I don't get clear nights during the weekend here for some reason, only on nights when I have to work in the morning...
I have plenty of room to flip it early. I get how it currently does it, but I was hoping there was a way the ASI Air would "trick" the mount into thinking it was past the meridian and go ahead and flip early. That way I could flip it, get guiding going, and go to bed and not worry about it. I guess not, eh?
But when it does so, and issues the GOTO that would normally have the mount approach from the other side, the mount will just GOTO on the same side -- because it knows it hasn't crossed the meridian yet. So nothing will happen. And then, because NINA tried to do it before the meridian, AFTER actually crossing the meridian nothing will happen (unless I setup the mount's behavior to flip, but then NINA will have lost control and my session will be ruined).
I understand you had a problematic flip. I would honestly suggest you figure out WHY the guiding didn't work as it should, and WHY the centering didn't happen, and solve those issues, rather than try to force a flip at an arbitrary time. With NINA and my mount setup to do flips normally, when they should, my setup flips, re-centers, restarts guiding, and continues on without me doing anything, often several times a night. I sleep through 'em.
Guiding didn't work as it should because there were no guide stars near M51 through an 8mm OAG... lol I'm not sure why it didn't center- it always has to date. I'm guessing it did the flip during when a cloud was in view, but that's just a guess. If it happens again I'll have to figure out the issue.
The real issue is that I'm cheap! lol Usually there isn't an issue, but I thought there might be with M51 knowing that it is pretty isolated. I had to rotate the camera during setup to find a guide star, and experience tells me that there was a good chance that it wouldn't find a good star after the automatic flip, and I was right. I was hoping that there was a way to "pre-flip" it in the future if I shoot another target that is as isolated. Thanks for the replies!! Your input is greatly appreciated!
There is no way to do what you want the way you want to, but one option to accomplish this (perhaps in a poor way) is to flip the mount yourself, find the object yourself with the mount flipped, and then start your autorun with meridian flip disabled. it will be flopped, at the cost of no goto to get on target. To aid in finding your object you could find something at the exact same declination that is just past the meridian and go to that, then all you'd need to do is back off the RA and fine tune.
My unsolicited advice is if M51 is problematic with auto flip, then I'd just find a different object to image until M51 is in such a position as to cross the meridian while you're still up. I'm not sure when you go to bed but M51 doesn't transit that late, probably just a few weeks it will be transiting around twilight anyhow...
I dunno, maybe I'm misunderstanding your question as well but there is a setting in there for meridian flips. If I remember correctly I had my asiair pro set to stop imaging 5 minutes before the meridian flip. I also told it to recalibrate guiding before continuing on with the imaging plan so I know you CAN tweak these settings.
Yes, I guess I am asking if you can, in effect, move the meridian. Instead of being directly overhead, that it acts as if the meridian is hours before. For example, M51 crosses the meridian at 1:00am tonight. I know if I let the ASI Air flip after it crosses the actual meridian, at, say, 1:05 am, it probably won't be able to find a guide star on its own because there are so few available guide stars near M51 with the narrow FOV of my OAG. I will be asleep at 1am, so instead, I want to flip at 11 pm while I am still awake (so effectively move the meridian from directly overhead to 10 degrees before directly overhead). I have room between my telescope and tripod leg to flip everything early, and I could then make sure it finds a guide star because I'm awake at 11pm.
A Meridian flip is not performed by the ASIAIR. The mount is the one doing the actual flip motion. ASIAIR merely issues a GOTO to the mount after the target has passed the Meridian. If the target has not yet passed the Meridian, the mount will not flip to a different side of the pier.
It would be nice also to set the time the GOTO order is given by the ASIAIR. I can easily image one hour past the meridian, even two hours depending on the declination, so I'd prefer to postpone meridian flip by that amount.
I also moved the scope to point at Arcturus (before the meridian: SE sky) and back to Procyon (SW) using Goto. The scope didn't make a flip even though going from Arcturus to Procyon, it passed through meridian.
I have a Snaptain SP510 camera drone. I haven't flown in a while, but I'm interested in getting back to it. After seeing some videos, I began to wonder if I'd be able to perform a manual flip. I know most camera drones weren't designed to flip, which is why this one doesn't have an automatic flip button, but I know some pilots can manually perform this aerial trick anyways. The SP510 is relatively compact and not too slow, but I wouldn't call it speedy either. Most websites I've looked at have discouraged performing flips with photography-focused drones (such as the DJI Mini 3 Pro). But is it still possible?
In addition, to perform a flip, would I need to change the drone's flight settings? Like many other modern quadcopters, the SP510 is connected to GPS, so it hovers in place by default. However, it does allow the pilot to turn on ATTI mode (which I've never tried before, but will be practicing). Would I have to use ATTI mode before attempting a flip?
To my knowledge, ATTI mode only disables GPS, optical, and other positioning sensors. Your drone would still be actively stabilized with the Gyro and would still be limited in how far it can roll or pitch, making flips nearly impossible.

When using a frontend launcher like Daijisho or the Retroid Launcher, autosave and autoload will not work properly. Instead, you can either launch games directly from the standalone emulator, or use the Save/Load State functions within the emulator quick menu to manually save and load states. In-game saves still work fine either way.
hey! lovely review. Am new to the scene, my only question on the guide does the console change your settings per emulator for you, like after pre-setting them. or do you need o manually swap the settings each time. Thanks ?
