Guys, Don't worry, G2 can make all of you happy. There are plenty of old RS232 connections (USB for sure imposes a huge overkill if you only want serial communication): 2 with very ruggedized line

Seriously? I had computer stores in 1979 and wired this frakking things. I hate RS232 with a passion that will never end I suppose. The funny thing is you have to have a USB adapter to attach to the

I have used my G-11 G2 about a dozen times now. Based on that, this is how I feel about the need for add-ons. I have the CKS on back order. IMO, it is needed. That said, I find there is an instinct to

Sounds like you did some good research. Nice list! My 2 cents of experience so far. CKS - absolutely needed.I just can't get the standard ones tight enough. Much easier to manage. Polar Scope - yep.

Here Here! I agree completely with Rainer. There is nothing as stable and trouble-free as good 'ole RS-232 or RS-422. The amount of bandwidth needed for communicating with positional or slow devices

Yes, those are indeed the ones. :) -Ted

Dave, Well, now that you ask... :) here is my current list: - CKS Losmandy Clutch Knobs - Losmandy Polar Scope for GM-8 and G11 Mounts - Losmandy TKS Tripod Knob Set Alum. with SS Threads -

Hi Dave, Thanks for confirming that as I am putting together the list of accessories I am going to pick up for the G11 with Gemini II and the metal motor covers were 3rd on the list. You have saved me

Hi Kirk, ? Yes, the motors for the Gemini driven mount arrived already in some type of metal housing. I assume this is a different motor configuration to agree with the gemini cabling perhaps? I have

A great upgrade for the G11. I have them and consider them a requirment for a mobile mount! ? Dave

Ted, are you talking about the Bob's Knobs bolts? http://www.bobsknobs.com/page5/page10/Losmandy.html Knobs for locking elevation adjustment If so, they are a bargin at $21.00 shipped. I purchased a

Dave, You are the first person I have heard say that. Are the stock motor covers you recieved metal? That would be excellent as it would save me about $100. Thanks, Kirk

The hard aluminum covers replace the plastic coverse for the stepper motors on the non-Gemini mounts. Gake

Hi Dave, " ... but when will this antiquated practice of 9 pin serial finally come to an end ... " I hope never ! as a RS232 serial connection never hangs up and the Sh...y USB, be it whatever

I had the same experience. It appears when you order the gemini, you get a different motor and it has hard covers already. ? Sent them back. ? Dave

Ted Can you elaborate on the third party elevation bolt replacement? That's irked me as well. I wasn't aware there is a third party solution thanks Brian

I know you can communicate with the Gemini 2 via the web interface but when will this antiquated practice of 9 pin serial finally come to an end and move on to USB. I see USB connectors on the new

Ted, Thank you so much for all of this great information. I have started my own document on the mount and I have added your comments to it, as I am sure they wil be helpful and time saving when the

Ted, Congratulations on the new mount! If you check the Losmandy site, there are manuals there for the Gemini 1 that should also work for the mechanical aspects of the Gemini 2.
