ZWO sent me a demo copy of the latest edition of their flagship wireless controller. It costs $299 USD and replaces your laptop computer for astrophotography (if you’re running an ASI dedicated astronomy camera, that is). The astrophotography accessory that “changed the game” is now more refined and capable than ever. This includes everything from the WiFi range, to overall system stability. The third installment of the ASIAIR legacy aims to correct the previous device’s shortcomings that were enough for guys like me to return to their old ways.

I skipped over the ASIAIR Pro, so the power ports are a nice upgrade from the original ASIair.
