Re: Gemini 2 catalogues
IIRC, you just start from the position you're in. The model should be reset automatically, so you just need to start building a new one from where the mount is.

Re: Gemini 2 catalogues
Paul sorry to bug you again but I've watched the videos on "PAC" and also read the manual but I still have a question.? If this strictly visual guy decides to get OCD about alignment, after

The stars that are picked for model building for each side might be on the same side of the meridian. You can read some of the details here: https://gemini-2.com/hc/En-SAE-01.html

Re: Gemini 2 catalogues
Hey Paul, while I have your attention another question I have is regarding modeling and "west" vs "east" stars the Gemini offers.? While the pointing accuracy is fine when I do proper alignment and

Re: Losmandy Hand Controller problem
Sorry, I don¡¯t know. It could be HC, its cord, or even Gemini.

Re: Gemini 2 catalogues
Select WDS catalog in the HC, then delete anything already entered on the screen and enter 08122, then hit enter.

Re: Gemini 2 catalogues
Thanks Paul... I somehow missed the SAO catalogue as an option (I saw it just didn't make the connection) so will try that my next clear night.? I tried WDS but it kept saying "not found" when I

Re: Gemini 2 catalogues
Definitely use SAO if nothing else works. WDS (Washington Double Star catalog) is available on Gemini, so you'd search for WDS 08122 to find Tegmine from Gemini HC.
Re: Losmandy Hand Controller problem
I would also check the cable, and then verify that the microSD card in the HC is seated properly. That might be hard to reach, so be careful not to destroy anything in the process of checking.

Re: Dec Stall from Custom Park to CWD
Tell that to the helical coupler I destroyed in an attempt to replace the Oldham coupler years ago. This happened because I had a slight binding in the worm/gear mesh that caused Gemini to increase

Re: Losmandy Hand Controller problem
Jim how did you reflash the HC Firmware. ?You cannot see the display or did it work for this? ?I¡¯m reading it¡¯s all ¡°white¡± which could also be it¡¯s got no data meaning there is a HC

I tried the buttons, but there was no response on boot up. I tried another test case where I slewed the scope to zenith as I prepare for this evening's imaging. No movement at

Re: Losmandy Hand Controller problem
Do the buttons on the back side of HC drive it?

Re: Dec Stall from Custom Park to CWD
In thinking about the coupler type options out there I remembered a nice chart from Ruland that explains the different types of couplers they offer.? There are other brands of couplers but they all

For general star look up, I cross reference on the WEB to a SAO designation and use that catalogue.? Just be sure to use a six-digit reference including leading zeros.? And be mindful that this

Re: Dec Stall from Custom Park to CWD
I stand corrected.? That's not the same Ruland disc coupler that is on my Dec axis, it's a spiral-cut beam coupler.? Mine is definitely a disc coupler, see attached photo.? Yours looks to still be
