Re: G-11 and slewing thru a target's "neighborhood" (visual)
Of course.? It wouldn't be much of a computerized mount if it didn't!? Just don't move it by pushing it manually without using the motors. -- Michael A. Covington, Ph.D. Consultant, Covington

Hi ?, As long as you¡¯re using Gemini HC or your PC to move the mount, Gemini will know exactly where you are. If you start pushing the mount against the clutches, then Gemini will lose track of your

G-11 and slewing thru a target's "neighborhood" (visual)
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

Re: First Time Set-up and Use
Thanks Guys for all the help. I successfully got my HC configured today, and I'll install the hardware this weekend. If skies clear I'll set limits and Home/Park positions "Using the HC". Like in

Re: First Time Set-up and Use
When using the Gemini 2 in the usual GOTO mode once you are polar aligned and have shot a couple of stars for the model you can only use the hand controller to move the scope.? If you push the scope

Re: First Time Set-up and Use
Kevin, you'll need to use the HC or PC software to move your mount to the desired safety limit position and then set it there. If you use push-to (loosening the clutches), Gemini will not be aware of

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

Hi John, Yep, that would scare the heck out of me, too. Something I've done in the past, and as recently last week (first time in a long time) is to do a "Factory Reset". *Tanya of Losmandy hosts a

Re: Mount Disconnect and Ignores Safety Limit
Hey John, Quick question: Were you able to regain mount communication before power-cycling the mount when you found it in the inverted position? If so, where did the mount "think" it was pointed at
Re: Mount Disconnect and Ignores Safety Limit
John, it sounds like Gemini was in a bad state if everything was initialized properly, but then it lost communications with the PC and continued to track past the safety limit. A few things to check,

Re: Mount Disconnect and Ignores Safety Limit
Thanks Doug, to be clear the mount was NOT parked as the software/driver lost communication.
