Re: Gemini 2 handset will not connect to Gemini 2
Hmm, From your initial post it sounds like you bought one of the two available Gemini 2 mini upgrades. If this is a new purchase from Losmandy stop and call Losmandy, let them handle diagnosis and
Re: What Coordinate System is Gemini Using?
In SkySafari you can specify the precession epoch: in the Settings menu choose Precession, checking "Use Current Epoch" sets it to JNow, otherwise you can specify the epoch (2000 for

Re: What Coordinate System is Gemini Using?
Thanks Paul. I can get J2000 coordinates from my Starry Night Pro.? I've been to Didier's page on Catalogs and found some I'd like to add to Gem. His directions for loading them sound easy, I like

Re: Gemini 2 handset will not connect to Gemini 2
Sounds like a good plan, Jay. If you have a 2-4GB micro-SD card on hand, I'd format it with FAT and then try replacing the card in the Gemini CPU with it. That should be good enough to get Gemini to

Re: What Coordinate System is Gemini Using?
Hi Kevin, Gemini is using J2000 coordinates for catalog entries. Sounds like SkySafari gives you JNow coordinates, precessed to epoch of date instead of J2000.

What Coordinate System is Gemini Using?
While using Sky Safari to track down SAO Numbers to add to my Double Star list, so I can use Gemini HC SAO catalog, I found that Sky Safari uses RA(2025.3)/Dec(2025.3). Searching for Beta Mon, I

Thanks Chip and Paul, It looks like I'm going to get some clear weather for the next couple of nights.? I'll upgrade to Level 6.12, reset the HGM to defaults, double check revesal check boxes on

Re: Gemini 2 handset will not connect to Gemini 2
So many things can go wrong, for sure it is always good to be able to swap HC and mainboard for faster diagnostics. Thinking about this, the simplest way to produce this symptom (HC tries to connect

Re: Upgrading Gemini L6 to L6.02 or L6.12
Mike, I think you should try to upgrade to the latest firmware and then, reset to defaults, like Chip suggested. There was nothing that I¡¯m aware of in 6.02 or later releases that should affect DEC

Re: Gemini 2 handset will not connect to Gemini 2
The ability to operate Gemini via Ethernet does not prove the Gemini is good. The buffer circuit in Gemini for the HC could still be bad. Helpful if someone could loan their HC to Jay for testing

Re: Upgrading Gemini L6 to L6.02 or L6.12
Hi Mike, I know there was a way to reverse the direction of travel in L5.x through the web server UI but it must not have been an option visible in the HC until L6.x.? AFAIK users have always been

Re: Gemini 2 handset will not connect to Gemini 2
Jay, It looks as if the bootloader has difficulties to access the SD card and delays the startup of the main board, while the HC is waiting and trying to communicate again and again. If your board
