OK, thank you Paul.? I am now a member of Gemini-II, yay!? Apparently I did not switch over to this group when I traded in my Gemini for a Gemini-II way back when. Paul, are the links on your

Been struggling with RA movement recently (a few nights). PHD2 calibration settings are calibration expert defaults. 12 steps for both RA and Dec. Using PHD2 Calibration Wizard tool to slew and

Edward, you need to join the Gemini-II group to be able to see the files section there. Otherwise, you'll see the home page, instead.

Edward, I just did my upgrade today. First you can find docs in the Gemini II group here: /g/Gemini-II. In the files section is

I finally have a Pic3 programmer in hand (and the eclipse is over so less worry about bricking my mount) ...? I do not have the official Losmandy kit which appears to be backordered now, anyway. I am

I didn't get anything last night, but here is a shot of the massive sunspot that is causing all the spectacular light shows.

Thanks, folks. I wasted money on a new gearbox and RA cable all because of your suggestions. I couldn't be happier. : ) If nothing else, it confirmed an upgrade to a Titan RA axis would be money well

Yes. There are 4 Allen head screws under each part of the RA EXT sides. These don't need to be crushingly tight - 2 to 3 ft-pounds should suffice. In many cases you are tightening a stainless screw

Just a gentle reminder (trying to help, not annoy…) that ‘the screw is tight’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘the parts are tight’. A too-long screw can bottom-out in a threaded hole and be

With regards to the RA extension for the G11G, there are 2 adjustment/lock bolts on each side of it. I assume these are the only items that need to be tight???? I do see 4 other bolts on the RA

Dan, After doing the upgrade, absolutely you need to rerun PEMPro and recalibrate PHD2. You are monitoring the number of steps differently and more than likely are out of sync with your previously

OK... so I believe I have upgraded everything required for the L6.2 upgrade.? I installed the L6.2 firmware on the circuit board, updated the HC to latest, updated Gemini driver to latest, update

This is not the case, Frank. I've been using Belleville washers for years. They compress at 6–7 pounds of load and don't go any further. They do not have sharp edges and don't cut into any surfaces,

I assume the 4x means 4 bolts? I have not heard of a 4x Hex Bolt? ? :-)

Thank you gents for the advice. I just ordered nylon washers from Amazon and will place them with all the screws on the G11G various tubes (RA extension...etc). With regards to the 4x Hex Head Grade 8

Re: Belleville Washers Their cup like design and spring steel material may not fully compress to give maximum surface contact/friction.? Their sharp edges coupled with joint movement may carve out

Hello again, If I had to firm up this arrangement I would add black nylon thick washers on the three MA bolts and the three Pier Extension bolts as there is very little mating surface between their

Attached is a pic of my mount showing the adapter connection to my pier plate, the RA extension tube and then mounted to my G11G. I have verified every single bolt on the adapter plate, the RA

I added Belleville Washer to all 6 adjustment bolts above (in my 2 images) sandwiched in between 2 washers each. That wont solve my wobble issue but is a good tip to do.

Russ, You are probably going to have to start from the bottom of your pier and look at every connection for play. Some connector which appears tight could be creating a gap when load is applied
