? I've been trying to get my Gemini 2 to talk to the planetarium in N.I.N.A. I thought I read here that the J2000 box has to be unchecked(so it'll run the N.I.N.A. selected planetarium), is this correct? I keep getting errors for RA, and or DEC. Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong here. I'm running Windows 11.
? ? ?Thanks for your help, Les
P.S. I've only had my Gemini 2 for a few days?now. So, I'm still a newbie with Gemini 2. I've owned other GOTO systems in the past, just not this one.... so be gentle?with me ?;^)

HI Les
are you new to NINA as well?
Nina does not have a built-in planetarium, you configure and connect using your choice of planetarium: Stellarium, Cartes Du Ciel, TheSkyX, etc.
You will need to make sure to configure the planetarium app to talk to NINA

Hey Brian, yeah, I'm new to N.I.N.A. as well, but I do have it selected as you've shown. Do I need to uncheck the J2000 box in the HC..? I didn't, because I wasn't sure if this was correct?or not.?

do not change \any defaults regarding the epoch - 99.9% of the time the defaults work fine
Many people have gotten into trouble fiddling with these settings

This is why I didn't touch them. I'm too new to this system to feel confident enough, to be changing anything at this point. However, we have a good weather forecast for tonight. This will give me a chance to try again. I just don't know what to do or where to start. I've set everything?up correctly, I think...? The mount hooks up to N.I.N.A. just fine. Trying to get the telescope to slew to my target through the planetarium is frustrating(error messages).

Can't really respond without any specifics here. you can test this during the day as well

Yeah, I just thought about what I said.... yes I can try it before tonight. It's just it's incredibly warm in the observatory at this time of the day. I'm gonna wait til it cools off a bit before I venture inside. I have an exhaust fan in it.... but it's 30¡ãC plus right?now. I'll check everything then and?let you know what's going on. I'll take a couple shots of errors.... maybe then you can give me a better idea of what's going on..?

Hey Brian, I've made 3 successful goto's after sweating it out in the observatory, trouble shooting for 2 hours.... finally! The thing is, I'm not sure what I actually did to get it to work. Now, I'm afraid to turn off or disconnect anything...lol. Hopefully, I'll have a flawless imaging session tonight. But I'm sure my focuser or something else will screw with me... fingers?crossed.?
? ? Thanks, Les
