thinking about getting the ASIAIR Mini for camera?

I have an iOptron Cube Pro that does all the tracking, so would the ASIAIR be worth getting? I'm intrigued with the idea of less cables, and being able to use my tablet wirelessly just for the camera control and not the mount control, since that be redundant. Does anyone have something similar and what are your thoughts on it?

How to photograph the new moon safely?

The Moon is at its new moon phase obviously near the Sun. I wish to exclude the rare case of an eclipse for this questions. Also, I am aware that photographing an object relativly close to the Sun (at the sky) involves dangers for the human eye or the sensors. Has anybody examples of a new moon 🌚 image and can advice how to proceed?

How do I capture each frame with S30Pro?

I am using a Seestar S30 Pro in AltAz at the moment and trying to learn the basics before moving on. I think I’m setting the scope up to save each frame but I can never find them! I’m trying to use alongside plans but you don’t seem to be able to configure this in a plan. I’m clearly not quite understanding it. Does anyone have a good resource that explains it properly or can explain it to me.

A majority of discarded images with exposure longer than 10 seconds with my S50 in Eq mode: what am I doing wrong?

I took many wonderful pictures with the standard 10 secs exposures both in AltAz and Eq mode (in the latter case using a Skywatcher tripod and Eq head). I made the polar alignment withinh the 0.3, 0.3 limits (green check), and I tried the 30 secs exposure on a galaxy (M51). The first 10 minutes I got only the first 2 frames, and the next 18 were all discarded. I made a similar try yesterday: same result. Anyone has suggestions? Should I take care of a perfect polar alignment 0.0 , 0.0? Should I calibrate something more? Could it be the building vibration (or light wind) since I live at 7th floor (rooftop)? The tripod quality and stability is excellent. The rooftop is solid (see picture). Thank you so much for your help.
