Re: Alignment (or is it ¡°modeling¡±)
How did you not get to save the model?? AFAIK the guided model building routine just keeps going as long as you keep picking stars to "align" on.? LOL, the Gemini 2 is hardly 2024 technology, at

Re: Alignment (or is it ¡°modeling¡±)
Thanks for the details. The process seems correct. A few more questions: 1. do you start with a Cold start, in CWD position? That¡¯s needed to clear out previous model and settings. 2. what mount and

Re: Alignment (or is it ¡°modeling¡±)
DNorton, If you are polar aligned, it is relatively simple, you just select a visible star from the Hand Control catalogue, command the mount to slew to the object, centre it in the eyepiece and then

Re: Alignment (or is it ¡°modeling¡±)
It would help if you could describe how you are building the model. Step by step. Many others are able to build a pointing model that works for them, so there's likely something you're not doing right

Re: Weird Gemini telescope behavior
Thanks Paul. If I run into this problem again, I'll look up the mac addresses and see if that's the problem. At least I'll know where i can modify the address. Chuck

Re: Weird Gemini telescope behavior
The MAC address should be different for two devices on the same network. UDP relies on it to deliver datagrams. Heres how to change the MAC address:

Re: Weird Gemini telescope behavior
Chuck, if I understand correctly, you have both Gemini connected via ethernet cable to their own mini computers. Did you change the MAC address of at least one of the Gemini units? With both units
