WSL=94,?? ESL= 94,?? WSL=3? these are my settings.? Assuming use of only the HC and a planetarium connected to gemini, I interpret this as permitting a meridian flip between 91 and 93 degrees. Is this correct ?
Since the Gemini is new and was only used 2 months, and I cannot use the usb method at all, what are my options for replacement/repair ?
Hi Frank,
the math is correct. As it stands your window of opportunity for a flip runs from 1 degree past meridian all the way to your safety limit of 4 degrees past meridian. That is 4 minutes to 16 minutes past meridian. Not a whole lot of wiggle room but manageable, just need to pay close attention to where your target is.?
As Paul suggested, you may want to increase your WGL to something like 6 to give you more room to work. That will let you flip from 2 degrees before the meridian. Also, if those limits are not hard set for your equipment, you may want to increase them a bit (but only if your scope allows).?
Finally, the software you use for imaging needs to have the correct values as well, and they all work slightly differently. Some require time instead of degrees so be careful with that too.
As for the comms error my only suggestion would be to make sure the com ports are setup properly in your gemini.net driver. Maybe even check the usb config on device manager to make sure it¡¯s all correctly set (I assuming windows?).
good luck
Jonathan
