Re: Level 6.1 , HC 1.63/ Changelog
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

Re: G-11 and slewing thru a target's "neighborhood" (visual)
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! ;) Ren¨¦ Am 06.04.25 um 20:17 schrieb Chip Louie via groups.io:

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

Re: G-11 and slewing thru a target's "neighborhood" (visual)
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,

Re: G-11 and slewing thru a target's "neighborhood" (visual)
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
Re: G-11 and slewing thru a target's "neighborhood" (visual)
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

Re: G-11 and slewing thru a target's "neighborhood" (visual)
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

G-11 and slewing thru a target's "neighborhood" (visual)
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

Re: First Time Set-up and Use
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

Re: First Time Set-up and Use
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

Re: First Time Set-up and Use
Kevin, you'll need to use the HC or PC software to move your mount to the desired safety limit position and then set it there. If you use push-to (loosening the clutches), Gemini will not be aware of

Re: First Time Set-up and Use
My Gemini and other things are set to UTC, which I ignore. I have my other timekeeping set to 24-hour time and can readily compute that in my head. But UTC eliminates DST bother. Whether we like it or
By Sonny Edmonds · #28472 ·
Re: First Time Set-up and Use
Paul, I don't think in UTC either. So I'll use my regular time/-4 offset. In the Fall I'll have to go into the handset and change it back to -5 via the cold start routine. No problem.? I have another

Personally, I never liked that recommendation. I like to see my local date and time displayed on Gemini. Living many hours away from UTC, I don't think in UTC time, and rarely know what it is without

Re: First Time Set-up and Use
Stick with UTC and set the clock accordingly (using an offset of 0). Never need to change it again. Sent: 02 April 2025 14:03 To: [email protected] Subject: [Gemini-II_io] First Time Set-up and Use
