ZWO FF80 Telescope, AM5 & ASIAIR Plus: 6-Month Review & Step-by-Step Setup Tutorial!

In this 6-month review of the ZWO FF80 Telescope, AM5, and ASIAIR Plus, I provide a step-by-step guide to setting up the entire astrophotography rig. I’ll also show you how to wirelessly connect and control the rig with the ASIAIR Plus, using your smartphone or tablet via WiFi. I test this setup by capturing stunning images of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and the Pleiades (M45) with the ASI2600MC Pro, evaluating the sharpness and roundness of the stars. Is this the perfect astrophotography setup for your backyard? Watch to find out. I wish you clear skies!
