Re: testing mount without load


 

Linda,

As the shaft weighs over 2 kg, I suggest you
remove it also. There should be no problem in running Gemini without a load.

I?€?m working on getting my GM811 set up with
software and I had a question about what was the
appropriate way to run the mount without any
OTA. Should I remove the counterweight shaft or
leave the shaft attached but without any counterweights?

If I do?€?t hook gemini up to the mount it
complains about stalls I guess since it?€?s not
getting any signals from the Dec or RA axes.

What?€?s the right way to go about this?

Thanks!
