ZWO ASIAIR PLUS 256 GB

The ZWO ASIAIR PLUS is a groundbreaking advancement in the realm of professional astrophotography. As the latest iteration of its predecessor, this compact controller eliminates the need for a computer in your astrophotography setup, streamlining your equipment and reducing cable clutter to a minimum.

One of the key enhancements over its predecessor is the replacement of the microSD card with an eMMC chip. Known for its superior stability and reliability, the eMMC chip offers a significant improvement in performance. Additionally, the ASIAIR PLUS features a dual-band WiFi module with an external antenna, extending the range up to 20 meters. This allows users to conveniently control their equipment from the comfort of their homes or cars, eliminating the need to endure the harsh cold of autumn or winter nights.

While some differences may seem purely cosmetic, they greatly enhance the overall user experience. The inclusion of control LEDs enables quick status checks of the entire system, while the additional USB-C port facilitates seamless data exchange between the controller and a computer.

The ASIAIR PLUS boasts several mechanical improvements as well. Its CNC-processed aluminum casing is 24% thinner than its predecessor, making it more compact and lightweight—over 13% lighter, to be exact.
