Re: Gemini 1 ASCOM and Maxim DL 6 - Nudge scope position
I reported an issue with MaxIm DL 6 not nudging properly using the Gemini Telescope ASCOM driver. I would choose "nudge" 10 arcsec and the scope would move way to far. The issue is NOT with MaxIm.

Re: Connecting ZWO ASI autoguider to Gemini-1, using PHD2 #photo
Many thanks, Johan, for offering your experience. I hadn't appreciated the cable fouling issue, but can readily see the benefits of reducing the number of cables. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for

Re: Connecting ZWO ASI autoguider to Gemini-1, using PHD2 #photo
I operate an orange C14 with G-11, autoguider and PHD2. The essential remarks were already made. Still some comments. For several years I used on-line guiding, because it worked and I did not want to

Re: Connecting ZWO ASI autoguider to Gemini-1, using PHD2 #photo
Brian, You seem to be working late - I've just checked and it's after 9pm in CA! Thanks for your very useful input. I wasn't aware that the camera direct connection would be using the ST-4

Re: Connecting ZWO ASI autoguider to Gemini-1, using PHD2 #photo
Hi Paul At the risk of repeating myself, i really encourage you to avoid ST-4 (essentially Thierry's proposal) and instead use pulse guiding. Yes ST-4 can be easier to configure initially, but you

Re: Connecting ZWO ASI autoguider to Gemini-1, using PHD2 #photo
Michael, Thank you for your comprehensive instructions. I'm steadily working through them. I already have an ATEN cable and DB9-to-4 pin RJ, which you might have supplied me over 10 years ago, as I

Re: Connecting ZWO ASI autoguider to Gemini-1, using PHD2 #photo
Thierry, Many thanks for that. My battery is on charge at the moment so I can't test out your suggestion. However, I would have thought that an autoguider would have the capability of sending

Re: Connecting ZWO ASI autoguider to Gemini-1, using PHD2 #photo
IMHO you should connect ZWO guider port to the Gemini then in PHD2 use "On Camera Guiding" .. this way you don't need to seen the Gemini in PHD2...... Thierry

Sorry, Brian, my confusion. I'll rectify that when I can find the message in the group. Paul.

Hi Paul Just to clarify, my recommendation was to use pulse guiding, and NOT to use ST-4 -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com <ht

Connecting ZWO ASI autoguider to Gemini-1, using PHD2 #photo
I have an older (2007) Gemini system running a G-11 mount. I have recently purchased a ZWO ASI120MC-P which I intend using primarily as an autoguider. What I need to know is what I should connect the

I'm hoping some gurus can assist with assisting me with what settings they are using for automated Meridian flips, specifically with Voyager software if possible. I've gone through hours of previous

Thanks Andrew, I will be playing around next clear night and hopefully will have more to add. Will certainly try the guide tab. Howard

Re: Gemini 1 ASCOM and Maxim DL 6 - Nudge scope position
I got a chance last night to give the Nudge a try.? How about that, North and South work but East and West gives the timeout error.? However, in the Guide tab there is a similar command and all four
