If you've got a Nikon or Canon camera, then you can use your ASIAir to control the entire workflow at night. (Unfortunately Sony cameras are still not supported)
The main reason you'd want to use this workflow is for the Sky Atlas feature. Assuming you have a Go-To Mount, you can quickly find any nebula or galaxy in the night sky. Plus, you'll see the composition before ever taking a photo! This will really speed things up.
Another benefit of this workflow is that you can monitor the images in real-time. If you notice some blurry stars, you can head outside and fix the problem. Without the ASIAir, you have no idea what's going on with the camera until you stop the interval and inspect the photos on the back LCD screen.
