Chip,
As you would have seen, I¡¯m very much a newbie to Losmandy and Gemini 1 having moved over from Celestron.
It¡¯s been a bit of a curve, but I love the Losmandy engineering. next step is to implement a number of upgrades over the next couple of weeks to bring my rather old (but new to me) GM-8 upto as best as it can be with some Losmandy and Michael Herman upgrades.
