Hi Anthony this log appears to only have runs that are pier side west - do you have a guidelog showing guiding after the flip? Looking at your last 1hr run, here are a couple suggestions for you

Maybe I am answering my own question here but... I am using "Resist switch", but I also have good results with backlash compensation. Maybe I should switch the "Hysteresis", which might be slightly

Michael, Thank you for the kind offer.? When I get to that point, I would love to take you up on it.? I do love to tinker.? I'm kind of intrigued by the various DIY SLW's that people have come up

Hey Brian- Yeah, sorry I didn't provide that: https://openphdguiding.org/logs/dl/PHD2_logs_iXUA.zip An overview of the log: 1) Several minutes waiting for PHD2 and mount to "settle" and then GA,

Hi Anthony i'd really need to see the guidelogs wrote:

I am using a G11 G2 and have been for 2-3 years. I have an issue that exhibits in PHD2 Guiding Assistant as bad polar alignment, and sometimes exhibits after a meridian flip, or when I start off the

I had a similar situation with a 20 year old G11 I bought w/o controller. To get the worm wheel off I had to put a couple of wood shims between the wheel and the mount. Tap with a rubber mallet on the

Michael: Not to drift too far off topic, but why would the ordering of the main gear thrust washers matter, unless your G11 is different than mine (which looks the same as in this photo:

No problem, Tony. If you only need a couple of the R4 Belleville washers, I have some at home that I supply to our group. Let me know. You can also give me a call if you want to discuss optimizing

haha - i feel you on that one. I would sell you mine but.... i'm using it for exactly this reason! -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com <http://brian

Hi Michael, thanks for the response.? The mount in question is actually the G11, not the G8, however your description sounds correct.? I did have the worm and worm blocks out at the time, and had

Hi Tony, From my recollection, the GM8 size worm wheel won't come off (your DEC axis) until you remove the DEC worm. With the worm in place it's threads hold the worm wheel in place. Possibly your

Since my scope is in the driveway in the dark and I'm in the house, I'm not comfortable just assuming it won't hit. Agreed. I'm just cheap so I'm waiting for a used one to turn up ;) Paul -- Paul

Paul I think you have a good handle on what's going on here. Regarding safety limits, you can set the more aggressively (larger) and take a chance that your DEC won't be in exactly the wrong place for

I used to image with an 8" SCT and my safety limits were WAY larger. But I am now using an AT115EDT refractor and with the camera hanging off the back and no pier extension, 95 is as good as it gets

Yes, that's right: set the goto limit of 3.45 degrees before the safety limit. Meridian flip is a function of a German Equatorial mount. Most people would prefer not to do a meridian flip. If you can

And a related question.... is there any reason not to simplify things and always set the western GOTO limit = western safety limit - 90? Ie., coincident with the meridian. Paul -- Paul Goelz Rochester

AH, I missed that the western GOTO limit is not degrees past CWD..... it is degrees EAST of western safety limit, right? That would explain it. So with tracking = 0.25 degree/minute if I want the flip

Hi Paul, I can't validate the NINA logic, as I don't know what it does to perform a meridian flip. Maybe looking in some logs will tell you what and when it tried to do? Gemini interprets Goto limit

Losmandy GM811 / Gemini 2 NINA Last night was the first time I tracked an object through the meridian. I had NINA programmed to flip 5 minutes past the meridian, with a maximum of 10 minutes. Use pier
