Re: mount does not learn from platesolving
Hi Paul, I don't know the MI-250, but why not just put some washers under the gearbox mounting and space the gearbox away from its mounting position that way... why cut the gearbox shaft? Too much

Re: mount does not learn from platesolving
Thanks all, With the new settings, my mount is learning, as evidenced by the RA and DEC error going to zero with each plate solve. Brian and company sent me two new gearboxes with my retrofit kit, so

Re: mount does not learn from platesolving
For that far off in both axes, I would make sure the following are all correct: CWD position at warm start/cold start is correct. Mount Type is correct. Dec and RA cables aren't swapped. In addition,

Re: mount does not learn from platesolving
Hi Pal 1) Cold Restarts, and 2) Turn OFF "Sync Performs additional align". NINA is setup to sync with mount at platesolves. Yes you should do this, which is the common practice when using

Re: mount does not learn from platesolving
I found with my Gemini on my MI250 That I have to do additional align, several on each side of the Meridian, Before it would point accurately. And the closer you can get the polar alignment the better

mount does not learn from platesolving
Hi all, I am running Gemini 2, and I did a rough polar alignment on my mount. It consistently off by 20-40 degrees in RA and similar in DEC. I have had the Gemini 2 setup to do: 1) Warm Restarts 2)

If you live in Spain, and you send a Gemini controller to me in the UK for repair, it appears there may be problems getting it back into Spain! I attached correct documents to the return shipment

Re: RA and DEC motors
Yes, the Mi-250 gearbox has a small amount removed from the output shaft length - sorry but I forget how much you need to remove off the top of my head. Mark

Re: RA and DEC motors
I note that with a pair of replacement gearboxes, we had to put a couple of spacer washers when mounting the gearbox on the MI-250 ¨C the shaft was fractionally too long for the Oldham coupler ¨C

Re: RA and DEC motors
Good for you to upgrade your system. Some notes: The Oldham coupler has 3 parts: the two metal ends and a plastic center part. You want to keep that entire coupler as the new system you will need new

Re: RA and DEC motors
Hi Micheal, Ive hit the jackpot tonight with all the info! Thank you for letting me know if the gearbox and motor will fit in my MI-250. It looks like the Oldman coupler is the only question mark at

Re: RA and DEC motors
Hi guys, Those original Gemini-1 motors in your photos have the early version rectangular motor cable. There is likely nothing wrong with those motors, or the Gemini version that drives those motors.

Re: RA and DEC motors
Hi Mario, I like new! But I need to find out if I can use them without machining with my MI-250 gearboxes first. Paul
Re: RA and DEC motors
Hi Paul, I have two brand new Losmandy motors for sale (latest generation) if it¡¯s good for you. Need to be use with Gemini2. Mario

RA and DEC motors
Hi Brian and all, I finally took some clear photos of my RA and DEC motors for my Gemini 1 on my MI-250. My goal is to swap these out for new Losmandy motors, so any help in whether the new ones would
