Re: Restarting Gemini2
Hi Ron Yes, unless (or until?) you move to more sophisticated DSO type software (think sequence generator pro, NINA, etc.) plate solve probably won't help you with your gotos Are you tearing down and

Re: Restarting Gemini2
Hi Ron, Of your options, #1 will surely work...but not what you want ideally. Your #2 option is wrong...here's how you should be doing that: Do start at CWD from Cold Bout and align, build your model

Hi Ron Can you describe your imaging setup? The easiest to do is cold start and plate solve every night. It depends on your setup. [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Gear lash adjustments on my G11t
I have the same problem with my G11S.? You did not mention if your worm gears are spring loaded.? Mine are not, so anything I write applies just to regular worms.? The G11S comes without a goto

Re: Restarting Gemini2
Hi Arun,! In the Gemini-1, a Cold Boot erases the entire set of Model parameters. Gemini.net shows all zeroes on the Advanced panel. The Genini-1 assumed the mount is polar aligned. Then you do a

Re: Restarting Gemini2
Michael - To the point about Cold Boot (which I assume means no pre existing model) - does it matter whether the CWD position is dead on or not? In theory, assuming that the mount is accurately polar

Re: Restarting Gemini2
Ok. Good to know. If you did a Cold Boot then ...it seems the -1 and -2 must be different in operation from a cold boot. That means the G-2 believes the CWD position was dead on, whereas the G-1 does

Re: Restarting Gemini2
Hi Brian, Look at the Model settings in Gemini.net, using the Advanced panel Model area. You will find they remain all zero value after the first Align to Bright star is done. Therefore it is a Synch.

Hi Jeff The spring loaded worm is a different kind of animal. it's not going to behave in the same way as regular geared worm/worm wheel meshing. The spring needs a certain amount of flex to move, so

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"

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
