I have a 10 Micron GM1000 HPS with either a Orion Optics ODK-10 or a Takahashi FSQ-106. So far I have used only the hand control to find objects to photograph. The 10 Micron GM1000 HPS is pier- mounted in my backyard observatory about 20 m from my house. 

I use ASIAIR for controlling my other mount, a Skywatcher AzEq-5. There I can connect ASIAir direct to the mount instead of the hand control and it works fine. Can anyone tell me how to connect ASIAir to 10 Micron GM1000 HPS?

I suppose that the Ethernet or the Serial port would do (the serial port would need a RS-232 to USB adapter). There are INDI drivers to download, I gather.

I don't believe by default it supports 10Micron. Even if there's an INDI driver for it the ASI Air is locked down so I doubt you could install it custom.

I would highly recommend purchasing a mini PC with Windows 10/11 and running NINA instead. It has full native support for 10Micron mounts.

Running a proper PC also allows you to run 10Micron software to build and accurate sky model. Very important to take full advantage of the mounts significant capabilities.
