Hi all, great forum. I¡¯m not sure if what I¡¯m experiencing is normal, hence the post. I have a new G11G/Gemini 2. PA to start is decent but not perfect, probably within a dozen arc minutes of where it should be.
Mount level, CWD down, Quick start. Mount type, location, time and offset all correct. Finder and OTA aligned with each other. Start the model, slew to (in this case) Spica, and Spica isn¡¯t anywhere to be found in my Meade 7x50 finder. After some major centering gymnastics, I do the usual model-align-back routine and go to Arcturus. Same issue, rinse, repeat. Try something in the east - same problem. I¡¯ve been using a 55 Plossl just to make things easier, then fine centering with a 9mm. The same routine is necessary on subsequent gotos; it¡¯s a night-long struggle. ?I have had some success synching, but it¡¯s still not nailing the gotos.
I MUST be missing something. Any ideas?
Thanks!
