Re: Restarting Gemini2


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Ah yes

Now Im Starting to understand the utility of SGP and NINA which I have not seriously imaged with as ?SharpCap is so easy, hard to stop

Yes, my setup is fixed

?

So are you saying that from my horizontal Home Position, ?I could power on Gemini2, then using SGP can do a direct goto by plate solve?

Hi Ron

?

Yes, unless (or until?) you move to more sophisticated DSO type software (think sequence generator pro, NINA, etc.) plate solve probably won't help you with your gotos

?

Are you tearing down and setting up every night, or do you have a fixed setup you just start up each night?

HI Brian

?

That doesn¡¯t sound very easy

?

Hutech IDAS LPF

Imaging live stacking via SharpCapPro

Ive not yet seen the utility of plate solving ¡­ Im waiting for such insight from my gurus

?

Prime focus 10 inch Orion RC 2000mm fl f/8? ASI 1600mm

Guide 80mm 400mm fl ?f/5? ASI 533mc

Only ?53 lb counterweight

?

PEMPRO, PHD2

?

heres a recent result , no flats, no darks, slight out of collimation but stars are roundish ?( just hate the bloat with sharpening)

100sec x 81 frames

Thanks again for your insight and suggestions

Hi Ron

?

Can you describe your imaging setup??

?

The easiest to do is cold start and plate solve every night. It depends on your setup.?

Wow guys thanks so much for your attention

?

?so again i¡¯m using a Gemini 2 my goal is to keep the model And go directly to the target In Easiest Manner with as less start up procedures possible

?

?I was hoping to turn on from the parked horizontal position, do a go to from the park position , align, and go to Target In other words all beginning initially? from the park position - impossible?

?

Want to easily get back to re-imaging the same object the night before and since I moved to park would presume all I Gotta do is turn on and go back to the target

?

?

?

?so you¡¯re telling me I have two options:

?

?

?

?1).? park @ CWD, Turn off Gemini,?? then move the scope manually to the horizontal position so I can close the roof Then to Awaken I would Firstmanually move to CWD and then turn on Gemini , warm restart,? go to and sink on first target

?

2 ). hand control command move the scope the Home position (which is horizontal )turn her off close the roof.? Then to awaken first? manually position to CWD then power up Gemini Warm restart go to sync

?

All of this seems so tedious - the model is there !?

?

I suppose even after parking Yet leaving power on then unpark I still have to do a CWD warm restart and then go to align?

?

What about the sleep mode?

?

?I can¡¯t just turn her on and go directly to the target rather than beginning always at CWD?

?
