I tested the mount yesterday afternoon and it was behaving, so I went ahead and did the reset to defaults. I set the limits back to what I had and will see what happens during the next set of

Thanks Paul. I'll try your suggestions and see what happens. The problem is that it is intermittent. I ran the interferomter three times this week and it only happened on two of the nights but it was

My G-11 with Gemini 2 has been having problems where it stops tracking and displays that the western limit has been reached. The problem is that it’s not really at the limit. I’ve even increased

thanks for update Kurt cheers -- Brendan

Finally had a chance to check both servo motors. Even though the DEC motor had no markings on it, they are both identical to the SVM-HT. Thanks for the help on this!

Hi, Paul! Thanks for the tips! I'm looking forward to using them in my future astrophotography sessions. Best Wishes and clear skies! Russ

Hi Russ, Absolutely make sure you're spreading the stars by at least an hour or two in RA between aligns. Avoid any stars very close to the pole or below 30 degrees above the horizon. Regards, -Paul

Hi, Chip Louie! Thanks for your reply and suggestions. When on target, the mount is tracking very well. I did a 90 second exposure and my stars were tight (highlights were dreadful, my scope is an

Hi, Paul! Thanks for your reply. The mount isn't new but I don't have a lot of experience with it yet (last year was pretty much dedicated to Dobsonians). I've been selecting "align" when model built

Hi, Paul! Thanks for the reply and the good comments. I'm using a Newtonian scope with a tight focuser and my 20 mm eyepiece does have an illuminated, cross hair reticle, so the most likely culprit is

Russ, Please clarify a few things. Is this a new mount to you? Is this something that has just started? Are your alignment stars spread out across the sky or close together? Are you selecting

Hi, Folks, I have a Losmandy GM8G using the Gemini II with the latest firmware update. I am using the polar scope and drift alignment only. After a 4 star model building, I instructed the Gemini II to

Thanks Brendan! I’ll check it when I’m back out at the observatory again.

8 minutes past the meridian puts the goto target at 98 °. Your safety limit is at 103.40 °. A flip will not happen, since the Goto limit is then at 101.10 ° and the target is 3+ ° before the Goto

I changed the Asiair settings to stop tracking 8 minutes before Meridian. And to flip (or GoTo command from Asiair) at 8 minutes past the Meridian. As for the limits Eastern is at 95.18, Western at

Did you change any of the settings? You said you have a 93° safety limit. This translates to 12 minutes of tracking past the meridian. If ASIAir stops at 1 minute before,? then a total of 13 minutes

The flip failed again this evening. However I did notice this clock countdown on the hand controller screen with the word Guide. I did not notice at what value the countdown began (probably at 60
