Re: Moving Ahead With My Losmandy G11 / Gemini-1

Beautiful. Coincidentally, I also discovered the benefits of reflective coating my scopes...really reduces the demand on the dew heater.? ? I got a whole roll of the reflective foam to cover new scopes and dew shields.?? When you connect your Gemini to your PC, you can download the settings (see the Advanced panel in Gemini.net).? Then you can upload the settings from the saved file if the settings get erased.?? Have fun. I heard from Andy Fischer in Missouri that Mars is closer than it will be for the next ~15 years. So this is a good time to image it if you can.? Andy got a great image...I'll have to see if I can figure out the surface features.? That's another fun challenge.??

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 ) |
