Re: Gemini Telescope and Firecapture question

Hi Gary,

Been using my G11/C11 setup for DSO with NINA for a couple years. A few months ago I changed com from USB to Ethernet to connect to the G11. Works great.?
?
Now I'm doing planetary with FireCapture. As you all know it is difficult to get a planet centered for imaging. I can't seem to open the Gemini Telescope software control while FireCapture is open. I'd like to be able to Find and Center the planet with the Gemini software control. Is it possible to do this ? I'm trying to do as much of this remotely from in the house, as the temp is in the teens here at night.??
?
Also I have seen on some YouTube videos that EQMOD has a Spiral Search feature for finding an object, like a planet. Does Gemini Telescope have anything like this ??

My customary way to proceed with my own G11 for occultations by asteroids (and likely working for planets) is to centre the target and run the guiding with NINA, then disconnecting the camera from NINA to use it through SharpCap (and not FireCapture). This way, no worry about searching.

Cheers,
JB
