Did ASICap help with the mosaic? Yesterday I tried to create a panel using ASIAIR, but with a small sensor and a limited view through the balcony window, I couldn’t properly perform a plate solve to make the telescope point accurately at the desired area I created and selected in the ASIAIR mosaic. It’s a pity that in this Plan mode you can only take photos.

No, I captured the original frames "by feel." Regarding the ASIAIR—I can't properly polar align it from my balcony because polar alignment requires 30 degrees between each point, and one of the points always ends up on my window frame. But in the yard, after aligning with an error of 0.5 degrees (which is quite large), it still aimed fairly accurately. I’ll try to take the 61EDPH out in September and test the panorama feature in ASIAIR—I’m really curious to see how it works.
