ASIAIR是一款由苏州振旺光电（ZWO）自主研发的无线天文摄影产品，是天文摄影领域的一颗新星。

ASIAIR是一款智能WiFi设备，有了它就可以通过手机或者Pad来控制ASI相机和赤道仪来进行解析、GOTO，导星和拍摄。ASIAIR绝对不是市面上那种的集成开源软件MiniPC，不存在VNC和远程桌面。ASIAIR的APP应用软件是ZWO历经半年多的时间自主研发的，为移动而生，为用户提供最佳的操作体验，支持Android和iOS系统。

在基于 Linux、INDI、PHD2, astrometry.net 等开源项目的基础上，ZWO 投入了大量的人力和财力，对深空摄影套装的各个设备兼容性做了大量研发工作。
我们也在此呼吁全球各大赤道仪厂商，少一些“个性化”的属性，拥抱 ASCOM 标准，包括后来的 Alpaca 标准，让整个行业的发展更加友好。

Hi i've posted a question on ASIAIR+ product page a few days ago (10/09/2021)
It has not been approved and was removed
Let's give it a try here, i'd really like to have an answer
The pro version uses opensource software : is this the case on "Plus" version ?
If so, by what means do you intend to fulfill the obligations of opensource licenses ?
At least the publication of modified code for the LGPL2.1 associated with indi, wich pro version obviously uses for mount control.
From Bill Nash:
recent response 8 Apr 2023, on Zwo FB:
Dennis Stavroyiannopoulos(who worked in IBM) reply:
One is legal and has to do with the LGPL which requires either publishing changed source code or directly contributing it to the library (hence the ZWO github repositories I think). The other is ethical and has to do with giving back to the community that has helped make a product a reality. Without indilib the development of ASIair (any version) would have taken many thousands of man hours more and quite possibly priced such a tool out of almost everyone's pockets...
The point of open source is communal benefits, not just taking advantage of other people's work. The same thing goes for NINA btw. Given the popularity of small appliances, it's probably a matter of time till a NINA based appliance comes along.
AFAIK, third party ASCOM compliant cameras, focusers, filter wheels etc are still not supported in ASIAIR, without a good reason
