Hello,
?
So let's say I've set up the mount correctly re polar alignment and modeling and the pointing accuracy is good.? I select a target from the database and it takes me there.? After observing the target I decide to wander around the neighborhood of the target slewing here and there, does the Gemini stay with me and not lose modeling/pointing accuracy if I return to the database for a new target?? Will it know where it is after I slew away from the target?

Thanks in advance.
Yes.? But you must only use the hand controller to move the scope around the neighborhood.? Otherwise Gemini will get lost as it has no way t get feedback from the servomotor encoders to know where you moved the scope.??

In other words the system is closed until you push it manually which opens the door.?
