Dear Ian, I suspect this first: There is a "resettable thermal fuse" that is flat, soldered to the circuit board. It is usually labelled "F2". When that overheats, it will start to reset the CPU and

Hi Ian Are you handy wit ha multimeter??? I can supply quick guides and where to measure....what to look for but you need to be versed in some electronics. HC "Menu"......or more correctly its

After using Gemini 1 system on my Mi250 mount for many years it has developed a very odd fault. I am using it just with the hand controller and sidereal mode to slew to Mars for imaging. I just use it

I haven't done an Onstep. But when I was adapting my focuser (5 mm shaft), to my Refractors focuser, I got a 5 mm to 5 mm coupler for?the job, then bored out the shaft size for the focuser on my

For my OnStep controller I used the flex couplers that came with my older EQStar controller (see Astrogadget pages).? I don't have the exact dimensions right now but it is a matter of measuring the

Cloudy Nights Classifieds <https://www.cloudynights.com/> You have to be a member before posting an ad, but as a vendor I can do it for you as a consignment sale. I'd start at $1250 for everything

The standard places are CloudyNights (free) and Astromart (subscription), have always had good experiences with both.? We also have AstroBuySell in Canada, but probably won't be too many interested

Keith and all, Thanks. Tanya confirmed - just sell the 2011 G11 head and buy a new one. Same price. Where best to sell my 2011 Losmandy G11 head? I’ve had poor experiences with eBay - not worth the

for a full upgrade and addition of Gemini 2? I highly recommend coordinating any delivery of your mount with Tanya at the shop. RIght now we are backlogged into January, so it would just sit in line

My only "warning" would be you will love it. I added the RAEXT to mine and it completed nirvanas for me. *Chunks (

No real warnings.? Not sure what that the total cost might be (including shipping back and forth), but keep in mind a brand new G11G (without tripod) is $2900. Keith

Any warnings before I try to send my 9 year old G11 head into Losmandy for a full upgrade and addition of Gemini 2? Very interested in the “tucked motors” and the RAEXT to lighten the weight of

In the past when I have seen strange behavior caused by incorrect configuration data like time, date, location, mount type etc. from one of my Gemini controllers with a known good battery (as in I

Ah yes, I read about someone trying running PemPRO on Wine and also got stuck with ASCOM. I have a similar need, as I have replaced my astro'laptop with a RaspberryPi. I was thinking of pluging a USB

I checked battery and ?SD card install and all seems OK. Reboot date is not in November, (I think April 3008?), so it is odd that location reset to Hollywood, but date/time reset was arbitrary.

Just want to say thanks for the PEC training videos Brian. I got a mini pc with windows the other day, and was able to use pempro to do the training. Started out with PE around 2, and ended up with it

Yes you need to have an eastern bias to the weight I found with the AO unit, it was less important so I stopped doing that. one less thing to worry about with AO :) -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio

Another follow-up for you Brian, with your G11T do you still have to hang a weight on the mount to keep it east biased for good guiding since it doesn't have spring loaded worms?

It’s not *that* hard to get imperial stuff – I really don’t like mixing imperial and metric on the same piece of equipment! In extremis when the relevant screw/nut/whatever is totally

Hahaha those damn imperial threads. ?Will be with us forever! -- Brendan
