Re: Restarting Gemini2
Hi Ron, Like Jamey just said, when I have some pointing trouble, I do a Park at CWD, then shut off the Gemini power. Then I set up the CWD position: I loosen the RA clutch. I then use a "torpedo"

Re: Gear lash adjustments on my G11t
Thanks, Brian. It does help. My new mount has far less play than my old CGEM mount, but a tiny bit more than my CGX-L. I can send a little video of the Dec movement and sound. Between the moon and

Re: Gear lash adjustments on my G11t
Brian, I was wondering how much play the Dec was supposed to have. I have rotated the Dec though 360 degrees several times. It is tight and noisier through 90 degrees. 270 degrees of the arc, the Dec

Re: No meridian flip while tracking?
Hi Henry Yes you can do meridian flips with your Titan. This is a feature of - and controlled by - Maxim DL. I personally don't use Maxim so I can't tell you how it works, but I do meridian flips all

Re: Gear lash adjustments on my G11t
Brian, Thanks for getting back to me about this. I am hoping we can start over. I did find a battery that puts out 16 volts. It powers the Dec through the range of motion without warning messages, but

Re: Gear lash adjustments on my G11t
Hi Jeff My apologies - that wasn't my intention at all, so please let me try again: Most importantly is getting your mount running to your satisfaction. I'm super glad people are helping you here. IF

Brian, As I am sure you are aware, new things are often discovered as we use mechanical things. They all have their little idiosyncrasies. This was not an inexpensive item and I should be able to

Re: Gear lash adjustments on my G11t
Hi Jeff, A long way off, but when I got my GM811G HD, I mounted the motors as instructed. The Dec axis was a bit loud. So I did the described 1/4 turn loosen and tried adjusting the motor. It got

Re: Gear lash adjustments on my G11t
Hello Jeff, I use a 12v LifPo4 battery plus voltage pump made by our very own Michael Herman, that boost the voltage to I think 17.3 volts to help prevent motor stalls. It works very well and it also
