Hi Folks, René, as usual, has been busy with Gemini improvements. The new Bootloader is an update to the original one that was created when 2GB SD cards were all that was available :) The new

With my G11, for medium size stuff I use a 60mm Orion guidescope (love it) with a Zwo 120mm (full body not mini) for my 2000mm 10” RC I use my William Optics G71 as a guide scope w/ a full body Zwo

It is highly dependant on what your imaging system looks like.? You want the guide scope and camera combination ideally to have a 1:3? or worst case 1:5 ratio relative to your main imaging scope and

Hi Jeremy, I’m not sure exactly what you are looking for but, a simple guidescope and guide camera would be a start. I am currently using a cheap 50mm guidescope from astromania with an ASI178MM

Greetings everyone! Apologies if this has been discussed already (I did a quick but not exhaustive search through past posts), but I am looking for suggestions for a good entry level autoguiding

After a computer reset, regaining everything is a PITA. So, one of the last things has been getting my GM811G to slew to park at the end of a NINA session. I know Paul has helped me with this before.

I use the G8 Gemini II with the Nexus DSC controller and the Losmandy encoders with 311,000 tics. The mount is permanently installed. It works well. My original intention was to work with the Gemini

Hi Rainer, it's good to see you! Regards, -Paul

Hi Brendan, No it is not me, it is another Rainer, as I am still alive and live in Mexico and thanks for that about being a Legend?? :-0 Since April 2018 I have no Losmandy G11 and so also no Gemini

I suspect it is at the upper limit for my trusty old but fully updated G11G2.? In this configuration it really needs 4 x 21 + 1 x 7 to make it easier to fine tune the balance.? But I was already

That's an impressive setup, Chip! There's not much space left on the counterweight bar! ;) René Am 06.04.25 um 20:17 schrieb Chip Louie via groups.io:

Yes I meant using the hand controller.?? Thanks for the info.

Chip is right, and in L6 the motor encoder positions are monitored in the servo firmware and in the ARM firmware. Pushing the RA axis may result in Safety Limit violations. A Sync does not help here,

Yes.? But you must only use the hand controller to move the scope around the neighborhood.? Otherwise Gemini will get lost as it has no way t get feedback from the servomotor encoders to know where

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

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

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

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
