Re: GM811/Gemini 2 RA Glitches
I¡¯m running a 2012 Gemini 2 tallboy and I am finding exactly the same issues as Paul have risen since last years imaging season. It was so bad in Feb that I gave up for a few months and took

Re: GM811/Gemini 2 RA Glitches
RA worm mesh is quite tight. I generally balance the scope very carefully, then weigh it just very slightly east-heavy. If east-west balance were an issue then I would expect Western Hemisphere

Re: GM811/Gemini 2 RA Glitches
Thanks for the tip. I generally run the RA clutch very loose, but I'll experiment a little to see what effect a loose, lightly-tightened, moderately tightened clutch has on tracking. Sounds like

Re: GM811/Gemini 2 RA Glitches
My initial thought is to ask how tight the worm/gear mesh is (is it quite loose?) and to ask what the balance is like? If the mesh is quite loose, and the balance isn't weighted slightly towards the

Re: GM811/Gemini 2 RA Glitches
How tight do you run your clutch?? I have seen that (although not to that magnitude) and running the clutches VERY loose has cleared it up.? Here's my theory (aHEM)...... On my GM811, the RA axis is

Good to hear Les ? It wouldn't be astrophotography if something else didn't go wrong ;)

Re: GM811/Gemini 2 RA Glitches
...And I spent all that effort to so carefully craft my issue, only to attach the wrong file. To repeat, this time with the (hopefully) correct PHD2 log: I'm pretty sure this topic has been covered

Hi Paul.? You've posted the debug log instead of the guide log. Keith

Re: Gemini 2 and N.I.N.A. planetarium
Hey Brian, I've made 3 successful goto's after sweating it out in the observatory, trouble shooting for 2 hours.... finally! The thing is, I'm not sure what I actually did to get it to work. Now, I'm

GM811/Gemini 2 RA Glitches
I'm pretty sure this topic has been covered previously, but I haven't found a satisfactory explanation for the occasional 8-15 arc-second "bounce" that occurs on my GM811.? I'm running Gemini 2 L5,

Re: Gemini 2 and N.I.N.A. planetarium
Yeah, I just thought about what I said.... yes I can try it before tonight. It's just it's incredibly warm in the observatory at this time of the day. I'm gonna wait til it cools off a bit before I

Re: Gemini 2 and N.I.N.A. planetarium
This is why I didn't touch them. I'm too new to this system to feel confident enough, to be changing anything at this point. However, we have a good weather forecast for tonight. This will give me a

do not change \any defaults regarding the epoch - 99.9% of the time the defaults work fine Many people have gotten into trouble fiddling with these settings

Re: Gemini 2 and N.I.N.A. planetarium
Hey Brian, yeah, I'm new to N.I.N.A. as well, but I do have it selected as you've shown. Do I need to uncheck the J2000 box in the HC..? I didn't, because I wasn't sure if this was correct or not. Les

Re: Gemini 2 and N.I.N.A. planetarium
HI Les are you new to NINA as well? Nina does not have a built-in planetarium, you configure and connect using your choice of planetarium: Stellarium, Cartes Du Ciel, TheSkyX, etc. You will need to

Gemini 2 and N.I.N.A. planetarium
I've been trying to get my Gemini 2 to talk to the planetarium in N.I.N.A. I thought I read here that the J2000 box has to be unchecked(so it'll run the N.I.N.A. selected planetarium), is this
