HC files
Greetings all, Where can one find *ALL* of the Hand Controller files to copy into a freshly formatted micro-SD card. The 'combined...' zip files that I have downloaded from this and

Re: Reverse RA & DEC enabled
Have to agree with Paul some odd things occurring (re: battery). ? Since firmware updated a few months back ¡­..it¡¯s not this. ?Agree the INDI highlight bullet point. ?Asked as I don¡¯t know.

Re: Error when attempting to connect to Gemini 2 with GFU
Jason, the beta group is closed since there's no beta going on at the moment, and it doesn't contain the latest firmware, anyway. Besides updating using GFU, all the files are available here:

Re: I don't understand why Losmandy disabled the port for the axis encoders
Chip I saw Paul's reply and found the instructions. Interesting as it seems you can do visual at the scope with minimal equipment. I assume you still have to have a good PA and you get 1 mas accuracy?

Re: I don't understand why Losmandy disabled the port for the axis encoders
Hi Chuck, Per my post check out Astro Devices encoders and DSC.? Not cheap but they are the best complete encoder setup for the Losmandy EQ and ALT/AZ mounts. For the G11 and GM8 they install the

Re: I don't understand why Losmandy disabled the port for the axis encoders
A long time ago when I owned and used the Gemini 1 controllers on my G11 and GM8 mounts asked Rene and he told me it was limited to 10K tic encoders.? I no longer own a G1 controller but as I recall

Re: Error when attempting to connect to Gemini 2 with GFU
Paul, To download the firmware hex file, it looks like I need to have permission from the Gemini Beta Group to obtain the file. Just wanted to make sure that it is ok for me to request access to it (I

Re: Reverse RA & DEC enabled
Hi Paul, the fact that longitude is changing, along with RA/DEC reversal settings, seems to point to Gemini not keeping the settings internally. Maybe worth checking and replacing the 3v battery a

Re: Push-to to get Alt Az coordinates
The obvious, low-tech solution: trim the trees :)

Re: Push-to to get Alt Az coordinates
I thought of that as well. If I remember correctly, it couldn't handle it. Think of this situation as looking through a porthole: for each AZ point, there would be 2 ALT points. NINA couldn't handle

Re: I don't understand why Losmandy disabled the port for the axis encoders
Chip Just for my enlightenment, which encoders did you use and maybe a brief explanation of how you attached them? Thanks Chuck

Hi all, My Reverse RA & DEC options are enabled, causing my mount to slew to the opposite side of the pier than my target. Ive tried to reset the HGM parameters and then re-setup the Gemini II with

Re: I don't understand why Losmandy disabled the port for the axis encoders
I certainly agree that for imaging GOTO is the only way to fly. But if you get out to a dark sky site guided PUSH-TO involves the observer in the process of acquisition and observation.? It's a

Re: Hand controller
Hi Les, Sometimes the SD card in the hand controller is loose and making intermittent contact. Reseating and securing it in place can help in that case.

Re: I don't understand why Losmandy disabled the port for the axis encoders
I've moved on from push-to operation to fully automated Goto in the late 90's. With light pollution getting worse, clear nights getting fewer, and my desire to get as much imaging done while sleeping

Re: I don't understand why Losmandy disabled the port for the axis encoders
The reason the support for the encoders was dropped is nobody used encoders with the Gemini.? The Gemini only allowed the use of relatively low resolution encoders, 10K max. too low to be truly
