Re: G1 on G-11 refuses to go to bright stars
Magnus, I think there is some confusion in your statements. Synching does not add to the model, only aligning does that. Synching just says to the software that I am here. Regards Paul

Re: "Speed" to use when building a model
Somewhere in the Gemini1 manual it says something like...: Align to 3 stars on one side (only) of the meridian (go West of meridian and align to 3 stars). Then, after those 3 on one side, align to 3
