Re: G1 on G-11 refuses to go to bright stars
Hi all! Thanks for your so helpful support on this! Finally, I do believe I have some good news. However, I wish to keep testing and see if it stays good. I got a new EPROM from David, installed it

Re: GM8 azimuth adjustment
hi gang, Belleville washers save the day here...making this a nicely adjustable AZ system. I observe that on a long FL scope doing Drift alignment, loosening the AZ bolts, even slightly, makes the

Re: GM8 azimuth adjustment
Oh, fine. So the drag of the lock screws acts to take up the slop, so to speak. Sorry for my indelicate turn of phrase... but I will keep this in mind next time I have to do it. Prior kit that I have

Re: GM8 azimuth adjustment
Greg, You have to barely loosen the locks on the base and approach your alignment from one direction and then tighten the locks side to side a little bit at a time. In my experience with the G11 and

GM8 azimuth adjustment
Question -- is there any way to reduce the amount of play on the azimuth adjustment? I noticed that when last polar aligning my mount (using the Sharpcap tool on my VRC6) that there was a small amount

Re: Pointing issues
Primarily because this can be done without involving the author of Gemini, Rene Goerlich. Only he can make changes to Gemini internals. Anybody with some coding skills can create an ASCOM hub, or

Re: Pointing issues
Food for thought.. If Gemini is unique in modeling without a PC, why would the answer be to modify Gemini.net / ASCOM?? Visual Observers who setup each time are an after thought to Gemini 2.. I

Re: Dec vernier old Celestron G11
There is no vernier for the DEC on a CG11. Only an acrylic plate with a scribed line for the DEC scale. I uploaded a picture to the Files area. Don

Re: Pointing issues
Thanks, Paul. I agree that the best approach is understanding how to best use Gemini, as it does work well. If my list of steps work for Doc (PuzzleWuzzle), then his problem is solved on the practical

Re: Pointing issues
Michael, yes, of course, you could do the same with Gemini.NET with some coding. Alternatively, you could easily create an ASCOM hub that would be independent of Gemini and Gemini.NET. Original

Re: Dec vernier old Celestron G11
Dr Puzzleworth I have that "CG11" mount, perhaps even a photo somewhere of the Dec markings. I'm on travel, but when I get home will send that or take a picture for you. In practice, if you have a

Dec vernier old Celestron G11
Clear Skies! My "new" old Celestron G-11 seems to be lacking a vernier scale piece. Does anyone have photo of complete G-11 by Losmandy for Celestron that shows the dec vernier? Thanks!

Re: Pointing issues
Paul, I understand and the openness of Gemini.net is of great value. Your authorship and maintenance and improvements of that are also a fabulous benefit. The Orion Atlas/Synta EQ6 group has a PC
