I really don't think freeing up the gearbox fixed anything, but in my case it eliminated an obvious *potential* issue from the matrix.It is weird that those gearboxes bind like that. The belleville

Derek where do you want to add a rail - on top of the guidescope rings? wrote:

Besides, why do you care about the thread if you are unwilling to remove one? *** Because I want to put more bolts into the existing "extra holes" to add a Vixen rail.. But yes, I will try your

how are you setting the date? wrote:

Lo all, I seem to be having a problem with the Gemini 2 on my Titan keeping the date up to date.? The time is remaining correct, but it lags behind on the date, I have had to go in and update the

Derek, Remove just one screw, noting the tension with a precise instrument - the human hand. Then take it to a DIY or Ace store as suggested by one of our other friends. When you get back to the mount

Derek, you are a lot further along than I am. I'm doing baby steps to learn this mount. I am very sure that when I start doing AP the frustrations are going to happen I know this to be a truth.

Oh, but Derek, I live close enough to drop in at the factory..... 8^) Thank You Magnus, it looks interesting. But I'm more apt to stay with the programs I have.

That's so awesome, Deric! I had *serious* frustration for months, and again, it wasn't the mounts fault.. But I do have a bit of wisdom for "newbies".. I think I made a fundamental mistake from the

In Large Derek, that is how I learn, I forgot to put the minus sign the time zone ( 6 ) instead of ( -6 ) my mount thought it was 12 hours ahead of me. A bit of frustration, then I remembered a

For reasons unknown, the Gemini can end up with erroneous T pointing model values. To fix this: 1. Park the mount 2. Power off and on...in "cold boot" 3. Do your star alignments. Do 3 in the East of

What do you think made it go bonkers? *** Undoubtedly *User Error*.. Either Stellarium did it, as I was slewing around with Stellarium for the first time, as I don't have a pointing device anymore

But, if you would like to reinvent the wheel, you could start here <https://www.mcmaster.com/motor-couplings> . *** NOPE!.. I shouldn't have done that! Does anyone know where the Oldham's Losmandy

The couplings shouldn't wear much, unless something it worrying them too much. I'd be looking for one or the other shaft run-outs, possibly something bent. And I'd want a spare coupler if I was you.

I can understand. Believe me, after a lifetime of Industrial Electrical work you just develop that itch and eye and ear for making things better. OCD is a good label. I often got put on "Special

Hi Derek, You might be correct, but your Oldham is probably not worn out. It's just not assembled well enough yet. The middle nylon part does not hold the metal rods in place... It is that you must

I will check out the link.. Thanks! HOWEVER.. No I don't want to reinvent the wheel or break things so if it is a BAD IDEA.. I will just go ahead and buy a couple new Oldham's and think of them as

I'd say just email them and maybe they have the answer they are out until next week right now, but they are usually good about info like this Brian

Thanks.. But I can't do that as the guidescope is mounted and aligned.. There is NO WAY I am removing one of these screws now.. I had expected to find the right PDF from Losmandy - they are very good

Thanks Derek. Yeah, I tend to do a lot of proof running to be sure my telescope and attachments aren't going to accidentally jam up the works. I was reading about setting the limits earlier today in
