Is there a way to programme your Plan on the ASIair, while no camera is connected? It would be so much easier if you can set up the Plan programme for the night beforehand?

I think I read you can import plans in csv format. Maybe plan onnthe pc in another program then import to the asiair?

quick search found this…

A quick copy & paste of a mosaic from telescopius did not work... Almost, but the panels are not well positioned - all over the place but at least near the target. I think I have to try some things out with this! Would be so useful for mosaics and/or planning the camera rotation.

I have the same problem.  I hate creating mosaics plans on the Asiair because the Atlas is very bad.   The probleme is the values for the center coordinates are changed once you pasted it in the AA. 

Here's an example of a mosaic I created on Rho Ophiuchi.  The RA and DEC values don't match.

I found out what the problem is with the unorganised panels.  You first have to rotate your camera to the correct rotation, then copy-paste the panels. Though, the rotation in Telescopius is not the same as in my ASIAIR.
I started the mosaic for the Rho Ophiuchi, will take a while to collect all 6 panels  (I only have a few hours each night until it is below the horizon... I might need to finish it next year)

@Eric Gagne & @Sean Mc, thanks for the tip of copy-paste from telescopius!
