Re: Object Search in Gemini I
Brendan's and Paul Kanevsky's recent replies echo my experience and what I think I know about Object Search.? When you're looking through an eye piece, the mount's movement is easy to see.? As I

Beep is either: *Autoguider error aa in an Ra +/- signal at the same time *A motor was not connected properly and encoder signals were missing * A motor stall, or Mount at limit! (The system may think

Re: Object Search in Gemini I
So I just got it to work during the day. I saw definite movement on the Dec axis as it was searching the 2? field. But here's the strange thing. ?When I first powered the mount up it gave a long

Re: Object Search in Gemini I
If the mount responses to Ra and Dec button presses and slews! It¡¯ll work! As FOV search is just micro movements commanding function. ? The mount is more than capable of performing at slew or

Re: Object Search in Gemini I
I will try it at night but I¡¯m a bit skeptical of this. ?I watched the RA and Dec setting circles quite carefully for the couple of minutes it was running. ?They didn¡¯t move with respect to the

Re: Object Search in Gemini I
Bill, Unless you are tracking at night you are unlikely to be able to perceive the movement. Paul

Re: Object Search in Gemini I
I¡¯ve never used the function before, and I use G2 also so, take my comments with some salt attached. The mount moving at center speed is quite hard to see so, not seeing it move is no indication

Re: Object Search in Gemini I
If you select the HC select ¡°display Ra\Dec¡± it will display current ¡­.. if you had selected ¡°search FOV¡±. I guess it¡¯ll show the changing values. Or connect Gemini ASCOM then do ¡°FOV

Re: Object Search in Gemini I
Strange, unless you have the center rate set too low? I don't have access to Gemini-1 to test right now, but I recall that function working as advertised when I did use it.

Re: Object Search in Gemini I
Yes, I¡¯ve read the manual. ?I picked the largest FOV available (2¡ã ??) and let it run for a couple of minutes. ?Absolutely no change in the RA or Dec that I could see. ?Yet you could hear the

Re: Object Search in Gemini I
Hi Bill, it should be moving faster than at guiding speed, but it depends on what FOV you select when invoking the function. This is from the manual: 5.3.8.1 Field of View Search This feature is

Object Search in Gemini I
I had never tried the Object Search feature in Gemini I but decided to give it a try a few days ago. ?This is the feature where the mount should pan within a specified FOV to locate an object you

Re: ASIAIR Plus and Losmandy GM8 mount Gemini one
By all means, Ken. I hope all goes well with your Gemq-GM8. I've shelved my G11 for the moment, and your problems have prompted me to do something better. (Actually, the shelving came about because

Re: ASIAIR Plus and Losmandy GM8 mount Gemini one
Well, that's fortunate, Ken. ASiair appears to be recognizing the Prolific converter, which means it has a driver that is compatible. Actually, I'd be surprised if it hasn't as ATEN and Prolific are

Re: ASIAIR Plus and Losmandy GM8 mount Gemini one
Hi Paul Thank you for your email. I set up my mount, camera and ASIAIR plus during day light. For some reason the App connected to my mount and I was able to slew the mont straight away. This was only
