The mount itself should not use much power...only if it is way unbalanced or gears jammed. Typical power into my G11s is: Gemini bootup: 0.15 amp Gemini starts sidereal tracking: add 0.10 amp Gemini

Hi Stephen I suggest you reset the Gemini to HGM Defaults (I assume it's a Gemini II) and then do a baseline guiding by following this procedure:

Instead of powering the mount's control panel directly from a 12v power source (in my case, that would be from the Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 240, 240Wh Backup Lithium Battery 16.8Ah,

I’m going to get things pieced together inside tonight, might be able to get it outdoors tomorrow. Is there a good checkout procedure? I thought my priority might be to get it Polar aligned, and run

Congratulations on your bargain G11. The only thing that looks original seems to be the left side block saying "Celestron by Losmandy". The side Elevation knobs, the Gemini-2, the tucked spring loaded

It’s an older Celestron model, but I pulled the trigger anyway. Looks to be in good shape with upgraded servos as near as I can tell. And after watching lots of videos, I like the fact that it

Michael, Thanks so much for the detailed reply and suggestions! I will give some of those a try. I'll give the Losmandy folks a break for holidays and to recover from COVID before I pester them but

Had a clear night tonight so tried the polemaster out. Very impressed with how quick this is to get good polar alignment.

What is the procedure for eliminating dec backlash on the Titan 50?

Hi I have a G11 with Spring loaded Worm on both axis.? I watched a video from Losmandy on it, and one of the axis has no backlash.? To make sure we are on the same page, my definition is that

I spoke with the owner tonight, he will hopefully send me a pic of the bottom of the mount.? I have plans to see it tomorrow:

Ok thanks, when the clouds clear I'll try it out. I want to start using my 300mm f/4 Newtonian scope which has a focal length of 1200mm so need to get reasonably good polar alignment since I usually

Correct. There is no park position on the 492 Digital drive systems. However getting the bubble levels just right isn’t that critical either. After you rotated back it asks you to find the stars

I think Tim is saying to get as close as you can back to your starting position. -- Chip Louie Chief Daydreamer Imagination Hardware Astropheric Weather Forecast - South Pasadena, CA Astrospheric

Thanks for this Tim - I don't think there is a park position on the Digital Drive G11. I do have bubble levels on the mount so make sure it is level.

I rotate my mount manually. ?Just make sure you return to the park position accurately. ? My mount has levels to square up both axis

Very sorry to hear this. It is seemingly everywhere right now. I hope everyone recovers quickly and has a minimum of symptoms.

OK, some pictures of my GM811G Dec motor for you to reference. I think I could see why you might think your motor is kitty-wampus. But if it is landing flat on the surface it sets in, I'd bet it

Hi Robert there are quite a few DD users out there :) yes you can rotate it by hand, that's fine. just make sure it's tracking otherwise you'll get smeared stars -- Brian Brian Valente
