Re: Any one using an ST-i for guider with Losmandy G2 conversation

 

Hi Doug,

Not clear yet what's causing your issue.? You said "modified" but what exactly has been modified?? How does the mod affect auto guiding?

You say you have a Gemini-2.? That has several ways to set up autoguiding.? It has a direct auto guide input port (ST4 port).? It also has a USB B port and internal USB controller that allows serial communication and so you can use, say, PHD2 for autoguiding.? It also has a CAT5 port that allows high speed communication with the PC and PHD2 with that.? I use the serial port on the H-2 like the serial port on the G-1, with PHD2 autoguiding.??

If none of those G-2 ports work perhaps your camera has a faulty output?? Try to use a different auto guide camera like a ZWO ASI (120 or other models all have an ST4 output port on them).? That way you can determine if the problem is with the Gemini-2, the G11 mount, or the camera you are using.??

Best of luck,
Michael

Morning all,

I am having no success with using the ST-i guider for use my my G11/G2 modified.? I have tried PHP, which does not work well once guide star is selected and even have gone back to SBIG's CCDOPS, which I used with my ST-5c pretty well successful in tracking and controlling the G11.? I am not sure where/how this problem I have with the ST-i & G2 combination comes from or whether is is just plain incompatibility or most likely operator error. ? Also, ?if someone has a cheat sheet on their set & control. I would appreciate having a copy of it.
Thanks for any assistance,
Doug
