Hi! Yes, I'm interested in working on the mount, finding causes that I can eliminate. I already do as you say, run latest PHD2 and use GA etc. The major problem here, is that it is intermittent...

That's definitely a possibility too My experience is pretty much all Losmandy mounts have a certain amount of DEC backlash so my thought is it's easier to first make sure the guiding is set up

Hello Everyone, Thank you very much for adding me to the group. I am an owner of a brand new Losmandy G11 GT mount with Gemini 2 hand controller, and am looking to connect the mount to my laptop

I’m not sure that agree that it’s a PHD problem. He’s talking about severe DEC backlash. This sounds like a mount issue. Rob Get Outlook for

HI Magnus you should probably post this to the PHD group since it sounds like a guiding issue couple thoughts: 1. make sure you are on the latest phd2 if you aren't already doing that, not

Hi! Lately, I'm experiencing bad guiding in DEC on mu G11. It's OK in RA and at times also in DEC, but unpredictable (so far). Good means a RMA of about 0.7 arc secs. Bad means RMS over 1.5. I use

Thanks, Dave . . . good point! Michael, you may have hit on the problem. Since the drives work fine in Sidereal mode, and since the Gemini looks fine until the mount needs to actually move, the

Hi Greg, Some actions to try: I think you said your RA has the high precision Ovision worm system. So Chip's comment about the brass Losmandy worm does not apply to that. I don't have an Ovision

Hi Greg, A couple of thoughts on your process. You are not likely to get very low tracking error numbers with the stainless steel worms, you must have brass worms for the best precision and

Forgot to mention G11 is pier mounted

Recently Purchased a used G11 with G1 controller I gave up on using the RS232 interface....it will connect at times others it will not,. Tried 2 different Apdapters USB to 9 pin, Cable is sound,

Happy Thanksgiving, all. Thanks, David, for explaining that the Gemini system only measures changes in motor position, that it does not know its exact position. I am wondering if Bob has some

The G1 and G2 have no idea whether the mount is at the CWD position or where it is actually pointing at any time, as there are no sensors in the mount to tell them that. The encoders on the motors

Thanks Paul, Michael,and Don for the comments and suggestions. Here are a few responses: 1. I'm using only the HC, no PC. 2. Right! EST - 5 hrs 3. This problem started with my original ver 1.01.

Bob, One thing to check is have the mount park in the CWD position to confirm it stops at the correct position. If not, then after parking turn off the mount and move the DEC shaft to the CWD

I have shared the same unwelcome experiences too. My advice is try this. Leave the Gemini1 disconnected from any computer. Why: There is a Gemini.net checkbox that allows the PC to send "default"

Hi Bob, You've done quite a bit of troubleshooting, all the basic things I would've checked. Since the problem appears to be related to your mount settings, this where we should concentrate. 1.

Perhaps someone here has an idea or two that would help me. I have a GM-8 with Gemini 1 that worked flawlessly from when I purchased it in 2006 until 2015 when I had to pack up the mount for a
