I might end up going with Stellarmate. Apparently, ASI AIR does not like long focal lengths when plate solving/polar aligning Next Star C8 (2000mm). I will eventually get a focal reducer.
Regardless I like what it has to offer and needed confirmation it would work with Gemeni 2.

I know the ASIAIR plate solves just fine on my M10" LX200 f/6.3 SCT which has significant coma at the outer edges.? While I have not personally tried it on the M8" LX200 f/10 ACF OTA but based on the calcs and ACF OTA's nice star shapes in the outer FOV I think it will be fine.? At some point I will try it but I have not tried this so far.??
