Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
Thanks Jonathan - great idea. Just tried it. Results the same, no flip - even after a 5 min. retry. Attached is the ascom log should it prove useful.

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
Could you try changing the settings in CCDciel? Use ¡°can track past meridian¡± for 12 minutes and ¡°no flip until past meridian¡± at 0. This should be comfortably within the gemini limits. I

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
Thanks for the tips. The key factors are in the screen shot attached. The way is interpret this is as follows: 1. the gemini limits permit meridian flip between 8 mins. before the meridian to 16 mins.

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
Hi Frank, the math is correct. As it stands your window of opportunity for a flip runs from 1 degree past meridian all the way to your safety limit of 4 degrees past meridian. That is 4 minutes to 16

Frank, I don't work for Losmandy, so you're better off contacting their support directly about any repair/replacement. Your? safety limits are very conservative, so there will be a very limited area

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
Thanks. WSL=94,?? ESL= 94,?? WSL=3? these are my settings.? Assuming use of only the HC and a planetarium connected to gemini, I interpret this as permitting a meridian flip between 91 and 93

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
That would mean the USB connection is poor. Maybe it's on the Gemini side, if you had tried multiple USB cords and different laptops. Probably easiest and best solution is to use Ethernet, as that's a

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
Frank, If you can¡¯t generate a meridian flip from the hand controller then you probably have the limits set incorrectly. Paul

Re: Guide Calibration GM811G, ASIAir

Guide Calibration GM811G, ASIAir
I have some curious behavior in calibrating guiding with a GM811G/Gemini II (L5.21, HC V1.41) using ASIAir Pro (V2.0/10.46), 60mm f/4 guide scope, ZWO ASI290MM Mini camera. All seems to work well
