Ah, glowing tape is a good idea for a late in the dark setup. I wear a headlight so even in a dark setup glowing pointers never occurred to me. If I had thought of it I would have used a glow in the

"CWD Painter Tape Trick" - What a great little surprise to always end up so close to my alignment targets! I one-upped your trick by using fluorescent tape so I can easily see the marks in the dark.

Tom, I've never tried 2 washers so I'm not sure what the effect would be. Recognize that you're trying to obtain a balance between wanting two surfaces to hold tight (so that telescope motion is not

Thanks Paul, but if I put stainless washers the resistance is the same or it also depends on the material, i.e. in this case the original ones seem not to be stainless steel. If I wanted to replace

I believe that the goal of the washers was to be able to add tightness yet still allow the unit to slide, so that it was not necessary to loosen the bolts when doing a polar alignment. I certainly

Hi, I wanted to ask a question but more of a curiosity.... I noticed that Losmandy mounts up to about 2005/2008 had one of the two screws with two washers, which in current mounts for example are no

Hi Ron. As an imager you want the new L6 firmware and PIC chip 4x code! The new code resolves the few weirdnesses some folks encountered using ASCOM based apps like NINA and SGP.? I can also say from

Using Gemini-2 Level 6 with the old servo firmware is what’s not (officially) supported. Sent: 29 August 2024 13:02 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Gemini_users_io] G11 upgrades (bought

I see, now that I know that I can use my raspberry pi 4 to flash it I should be able to do it together

Unsupported but workable is the updating to L6 Gemini firmware without also updating the PIC controller firmware to v3. These updates were meant to go together. If you want to temporarily update to L6

What is an unsupported combination? My mothors with the new firmware?

You can but technically that’s an unsupported combination … it will however work Sent: 29 August 2024 11:58 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Gemini_users_io] G11 upgrades (bought 2019)

I just found a way to use a Raspberry Pi as a PIC programmer: https://github.com/WallaceIT/picberry Since I am using one to control my telescope this seems pretty good :) Will have to test if it works

Thanks, that makes sense. That means I can upgrade to L6 without the servo updates for now? Also my G11 (from 2019) should already have the latest motors?

That is correct – you only need the PIC programmer to update the servo firmware. It has to be said that this recommended even if you aren’t proposing to exploit the x4 mode as it contains a number

Also it appears that for the L6 upgrade the PIC programmer is only needed to update the firmware of the motors, is that correct? All other components can be updated without a PIC programmer?

Hello everybody I am getting back into astrophotography and have been doing some research on available upgrades / updates to the Losmandy G11 Gemini 2 mount. Since I bought mine in 2019 it appears

Hi John, As I said, the non-integer gear reduction has no direct effect on PEC. What does have an effect is that the error has a period that is an integer multiple of the worm cycle. Your MI-250

I just crossed 26 hours of imaging since I fixed my Gemini serial port. To recap the repair, here are the parts I used: * MAX3226EEAE+ ( https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/700-MAX3226EEAE ) (I
