Re: First Time Set-up and Use
My Gemini and other things are set to UTC, which I ignore. I have my other timekeeping set to 24-hour time and can readily compute that in my head. But UTC eliminates DST bother. Whether we like it or

Re: First Time Set-up and Use
Paul, I don't think in UTC either. So I'll use my regular time/-4 offset. In the Fall I'll have to go into the handset and change it back to -5 via the cold start routine. No problem.? I have another

Re: First Time Set-up and Use
Personally, I never liked that recommendation. I like to see my local date and time displayed on Gemini. Living many hours away from UTC, I don't think in UTC time, and rarely know what it is without

Re: First Time Set-up and Use
Stick with UTC and set the clock accordingly (using an offset of 0). Never need to change it again. Sent: 02 April 2025 14:03 To: [email protected] Subject: [Gemini-II_io] First Time Set-up and Use

Re: Mount Disconnect and Ignores Safety Limit
After I rebooted, it seems the mount thought it was a CWD as an attempt to park it simply kept it where it was. So, I shut it down and asked the staff to manually move it back to CWD. I've operated

Re: Mount Disconnect and Ignores Safety Limit
Typically, I do a warm start if and only if the mount is still at CWD when I power it up. Further, the mount "knew" where it was for the first part of the session before comms was lost. Will do, but
