Tom I wanted to thank you and this group for your ongoing support for Gemini II and getting it out to us. It is a little nerve wracking to watch these threads while I still have one on order (moving

BTW is this what is holding up deliveries of Gemini 2? Because I'm will to take mine now and download later. Dave

I'm sorry as a former programmer. The software is EVER finished? :) Dave

Please Note to all: THE FIRMWARE IS NOT FINISHED as of MARCH 15, 2011 Modeling is still being work on. PEC is not working yet. Some targets have incorrect signs causing improper goto's. Not, sure, but

Terry would you please sign your messages. It is really no fun going back through messages trying to figure out who your are, so that I can properly address you. As I have said in many messages so

I align Gemini 2 with an initial alignment and a yhen couple of additional alignments for better accuracy. Do a few GOTOs . . . all seems well. Then during a GOTO it just stops, well off target. It

Thanks Andrew, I think you did a great job of explaining. Jim, I love your Dr. Who tag line. I believe it was Tom Baker in his first season as the Doctor, in the "Robot" story arc who said that. Yes,

Jim, You might explain that reducing the brightness will help her too. Extreme differences in light levels make dark areas harder to examine. Eyes can't cope with the contrast, especially as you age.

My experience with PAC is the same. Twice done and excellent results. ? Dave

Hi Floyd, Thanks for the tip. I was hoping it would be something simple and efficient like that. Now I really can't wait for the mount to get here. It's finally getting to be OK to be out all night

Jim, That is a thoughtful idea. Thanks. I will have to try and catch her next time she is outside. It is an unfortunate situation, as her husband was pretty young (49) and it was quite sudden and

Polar Axis Correction works very well. Usually a regular alignment with the Polar scope and then one iteration of PAC brings the Polar Alignment to a degree of accuracy that I do not see drift. Two

Kirk Just a thought, but any way she'd be amenable to having you help her shield the light? She could still have the perceived security of having a light without it intruding on your imaging. I think

Hey John...I used a credit card...hope you get your unit quickly. Jerry

Morgan, Once again, thanks for the info. I am really looking forward to getting this mount! My concern about the utility is based upon how I can image at home. I can use my house to "shade" myself

Kirk, I'll give you my impression and maybe Tom can add color. I was not viewing this feature as a replacement for a Polarscope so much as I was planning on using it as a mechanism for fine tuning the

Actually, I just went and looked it up. It looks intersting, but not what I thought it would be. Could anyone comment on the usefulness of "Polar Align Assist" and "Polar Axis Correction" utilities

Tom and Morgan, So you have tweaked my interest here. Is the Polar Align Assist something like the Celstron "All Star Polar Alignment" utility, i.e. a built in utilty to help you point the RA axis at

Morgan, Yes, you guessed it! :) I have spoken to two folks there so far, Ted and Bob. They both seemed very helpful. I had never done business with them before, so thanks for the vote of confidence in

Morgan Not yet. Ren??? is planning on incorporating every feature of the Gemini 1, but he is working on the Star Alignments at this time. Hopefully after that PEC, etc. Tom
