![]() It does not work with older iPads that uses the Lightning connector, unless you have a Lightning-to-HDMI adapter, and those may be expensive and scarce (Apple used to sell one for about $50 I don't know if they still do). To add a second display to an iPad, you either need to (1) use AirPlay to a HDMI display/TV that is connected to an AppleTV, or (2) get a USB-C to HDMI adapter - connect that to the USB-C connector of your iPad, then connect a HDMI display/TV to the adapter. The high end iPhones have even higher pixel densities, but the screens are abysmally small for use to display the simulator's output. This is to get the HFD of simulated stars to be as small as possible. I use Sidecar for my mount simulator because the iPad Pro has a higher pixel per inch than even an LG 5K display that I have connected to my M1 Mini. Sidecar is expressedly intend for using the iPad as a second (or n-th) display for the Mac, not the other way around. :-).Īruckle Adding the Mac to an iPad, No way. Just make sure you max out on the RAM of the iPad, though. The GPU should make all that time vanish, as long as the folks at ZWO codes properly. Right now, a APS-C size sensor still spins the wheel of my small iPad Pro for a couple of seconds - time for the ASIAIR app to rescale and auto white balance. The M1 iPad should be blazingly fast when it processes ASIAIR images after it downloads. Eventually, Macs would just be used for things like Xcode and CAD, and perhaps it won't even takes long before you can do everything on an iPad. Even RapidWeaver (which I use to create content for my web site) has an iOS version now, and I expect it to be just as easy and fast with the M1 iPad Pro. The line between the iPad and Mac are blurring very rapidly. The M1 Mini is faster than my Xeon based MacPro when running AstroPixelProcessor by a factor of about 2. I definitely prefer an iPad when I consuming content (like ASIAIR), but still need the Mac to develop code, and to do any non-interactive processing, like AstroPixelProcessor. SkySafari and ASIAIR are not written to allow Split Screen on a single iPad, but a multi-tasked Slide-Over window works fine with them. And the ASIAIR connected to my mount simulator :-) Right now, I have an iPad Pro connected to an ASIAIR and watching the Guide window, while a second iPad Pro (an old 12.9" one) is watching the Preview window of the same ASIAIR. ![]() ![]() You can connect many iPads to ASIAIR if you want, until the Raspberry Pi runs out of steam. But if you really want to run it, you can run SkySafari on one iPad, and ASIAIR on a second iPad, with the SkySafari connected to the ASIAIR's proxy port - the beauty of Internet Protocol. SkySafari is just eye candy I only use it for planning sessions. Aruckle Running ASIair, Sky Safari and the mount controller program on the screen at the same time.
