Thanks, Michael. I'm getting it all back together. Replacement of SRAM and EPROM necessitates re-establishing all the previous setup information, such as geographic location. Tonight despite the sky being quite murky, it is time to set the safety limits. Also?SkySafari is now effectively controlling the mount. After 45 years of using star atlas and finder 'scope, I'm thoroughly enjoying the go-to experience of the Gemini-1. Here is what the C-11 looks like now with the OTA and dew shield covered with Reflectix. (See #317 in this )
Someone said it looks like a satellite. It has really helped with heat management and dew prevention. After tonight's maintenance (safety limits,?SkySafari connection) I'm looking forward to Tuesday night for a predicted clearing. My goal is to finish examining Cassiopeia cluster sand moving on to explore Cepheus. I may even give a try on Mars. But that's a whole different setup and operating procedure. Having the 115mm refractor riding on top as a finder of sorts will be a real plus. Such is needed for the tiny sensor of my ZWO ASI290MC video camera. Yeah I had better do it - it will be many years before Mars is this close again.?
Warm Regards,
Russ
