Re: Screws on the CG-11
Do you need longer bolts? If so, how long a threaded part do you need? Here are photos of the saddle bolts on a GM8. (I'll check on the bolt type on my GM8 when I get home. I think they are the same

Dear Group members, I own a Celestron 11 with a Losmandy G11 mount. Now I want to replace the saddle plate and add an accessory bar on top of the C11. However, coming from the metric part of the

Re: On the subject of ... R4ZZ bearings for improved PE...
Yikes, Keith. Not a fun story to read but recently, other owners have been having trouble. If you are in my area, or want me to try a repair of your system, let me know. At least I can try to

Re: On the subject of ... R4ZZ bearings for improved PE...
Funny you should bring up the subject of bearings.? I've been wrestling with my older G11 for some time now and was (or maybe still am) on the edge of moving on from this mount as the hobby has

Re: TP-Link setup

Re: Guiding east even while east heavy

Re: Guiding east even while east heavy

Re: TP-Link setup
Hi GregBut WHAT are you trying to do? Using it ¡°with your home network¡± is pretty vague. Why does it need to be on your home network? If you want to connect to the telescope wirelessly with your

Re: TP-Link setup
Thanks? Randy. I was told it needed to be configured in client mode so that I could use it as you described with my gemini 2 and my home network . I was going to let my nephew try it with stellarium.

Should have joined this group long ago! I have a G11, first time using it after Scott upgraded to OPW, new motors, and spring-loaded. I have great balance on Dec and RA, but even when I bias towards

The thing he's trying to make work is the basic setup as per instructions, so it should do what it says i agree it's not necessary in the long run, but it would be nice to know it works when you go

Re: TP-Link setup
Greg i have the same tp-link unit that i use with my Gemini II mount. It should not require any setup because it broadcasts the ip address of what it is connected to by the ethernet cable. plug your

Re: TP-Link setup
Greg when you connect to the TP Link on your laptop, make sure you aren't also connected to your home network via wifi. turn wifi off on your computer. It's just for now to hunt this down -- Brian

Re: TP-Link setup
It sounds like the TP-Link is reachable, but I don't understand the part about 192.168.1.26.? Where did that come from?? Could you copy/paste the command and its output, or take a photo of the

Re: TP-Link setup
What is the IP address of the laptop (the ethernet interface, not the wifi)?? It needs to be on the same subnet as the TP-Link -- in this, the first three octets of the IP should be 192.168.0. Try
