Hi SonnyE,
One thing to check, since you¡¯ve done a full reset, is that the correct mount is selected in Gemini. I believe you have a G811, so make sure that¡¯s what¡¯s selected. The default setting of G11 will produce gotos that will be away from the desired destination.

So, I revamped my guide scope to a true Piggy-backed with my main telescope. I always wanted to do that, and with Brian's advice it was easy enough.
So first night out,
Just a fresh start. And re-entered all the Quick Start perimeters, and I use GPS coordinates from my phone that are most accurate. Better than city or town designations.
Time is accurate, too.
Sighting in the guide scope to my main was nice and easy, as was my RED DOT finder, and my Laser Pointer. I used Polaris as my aim point, and made any small adjustments as I was centering thing.
Adjusting in the guide scope with the mounted to a upside down on my .
But here is my problem, and I can usually bumble my way through these sorts of things, but not this time.
When I go looking for my first star for my Model building, it's usually off by a bit or a lot. Not unexpected. So I go to pains of finding it with Stellarium, and generally looking for the bright star closest to the point of aim.
My Gemini 2 has been very reliable before the changes, so I always had a great deal of confidence in it.
But now... I can't seem to get even close, and it's getting frustrating.
So since browsing through Jeff's finding Stars post, I think tonight I'm going to try starting with a Bright Star from the list for my first star, then work from there.
Because things are not working like they use to for me currently. I can't even seem to build a model anymore. ;^}
Any other suggestions for this bumblefart?
