I just got my ASI air plus today and was first using it. I ran into an issue with go to features, as even tho I was polar aligned and plate solved my mount was all over the place trying to get to the target. The issue I think it is is the mount being in Daylight Savings Time but the ASI air being in standard time, as it doesn’t support DST. It says in the app to set the mounts time to DST using a HC, but I don’t have one of those. Is there another way to change the mounts time? Has anyone else had this issue?

You can set the time for the mount in the mount settings of the AIR.

Also, make sure your mount is in proper home position when you turn it on, otherwise it may get confused with directions.

I just had the same problem. I got this combination very recently too. 
Did you use the built in tool from the asi air to polar align? Using that solved my problems out of some reason. 
I thought it was the daylight savings too but in my case it wasn't the problem.
What you could try if that is the problem, is to change the actuall time of the phone to what it is supposed to be for the asi air.
