David and Paul I have opened the Losmandy and it appears that the RS-232 socket (photo 1)has some white stain just on board and in the pins, in comparison with the other sockets (Photo 1,2,3). Is this

Agreed Paul, it seems like it did not change this much the first few months in total.? Now that I think about it, its possible some stuff loosened up over the winter/spring/early summer heat/cool

Last night I went out just before 10:00PM and this time I experienced DEC worked fine, but RA was not correcting. I saved the logs for this period under subfolder 06-03, and the log files should

Brian, a few arcminutes over days seems like a lot. Are you sure your mount is tightened down well in both axes? It's possible to make minor PA adjustments even when everything is tightened down well.

Hi Luis, Before you try to replace the RS232 chip, make sure you've tried swapping everything in between the PC and Gemini, including all the cables and the USB->Serial adapter. Sometimes the

I'm set up on a permanent pier, which has 4'of concrete in the ground, and 8 embedded bolts per the 'pier bible' how-to book.? It's an 8" pipe on top of that and the MA Adapter is bored down directly

It is repairable. I would normally be able to do that work for you, but I moved house earlier this year and things here are still not straight. I don’t expect to be in a position to undertake any

You can try the PPEC algorithm in PHD2 (if that's what you're using) which can trim down your 239.4s RA error a bit more than with just PEMPro alone. (You must set the PE period). When seeing is good

This used to work well for the original straight servo or stepper drivetrains with 2-piece worm blocks. I used to set the backlash up loose and just balance the mount to keep the same face of the worm

I've never seen a difference how you have the camera oriented left or right or not even on the RA axis. -- Chip Louie Chief Daydreamer Imagination Hardware Astrospheric Weather Forecast - South

I own a Losmandy G11-Gemini 1. As AAVSO member I’m working in variable stars. My last session was two nights ago. The work was fine in the first night: connect to TheSkyXPro via “ATEN USB

RA is worse than dec because you have a motor continuously running in RA.

I’ll just chime in that I’ve noticed the same with my G811. RA is almost always worst than Dec (1.5 is a good guesstimate). -- Bill Tschumy Otherwise -- Longmont, CO www.otherwise.com

Thank you David, I am aware of the inverted Polemaster position. I had to rotate it 180 degrees because the counterweight ?is in the way. Not an issue really, It just reverses the adjustments for

Thanks, Sean. I'd have preferred the full zip file that is generated by the Troubleshooter, as that includes ASCOM logs which are not in the folder you created. Other than that, a quick review I see

It seems like a good idea, what I do is balance and then move the weight a little towards the end of the bar. By the way, Polemaster recommends connecting it to the opposite side of where you have it

My special wrench measures 1.95mm or 0.076" via micrometer. The replacement screw is a #6x32 stainless button head which needs a 5/64" Allen key or 2mm. I bought a #6x32 screw multi-pack on Amazon a

Paul, I upload NINA and Troubleshoot logs to new folder " *L6 Dec Issue* ". This was around 10:20-10:30 CST. By 11:07 I was able to start a sequence.

I 3D printed a bracket that clamps on to the DEC axis and has a vixen shaped column on the western side onto which I clamp a 5lb ADM accessory dovetail counterweight. Purpose of this is to have the
