I recently switched to mono and quite happy with the move.

 

I use the ZWO EFW in Autorun / Plan modes to gather all my data.

 

Sometimes, I wish I could simply tell the EFW to move to my Ha or Sii filter (particularly when gathering flats or checking for dust motes).

 

Outside the Autorun / Plan modes of ASIAIR, is there a way to manually tell the EFW to move to a certain filter?

You can do it in sharpcap or nina

In the EFW menu on the AA you can change the current filter. I don’t have it open in front of me but I believe its a dropdown.

Yes, there is a way to tell ASIAIR the current filter but this doesn't actuate the EFW's motor and move to the selected filter. Therefore, its only useful for letting the EFW know which filter is currently pointed to at.

It should be changing filters when you change it in the drop down. When I owned one mine always did.

That’s how both of mine work.

If you listen closely, you should be able to hear the filter wheel move.
