Re: Maximum weight
Brian, While you're looking into more details, can you also include piggybacked devices as they effect a greater moment than devices on the saddle.? For example, a hefty guide scope piggybacked on a

Re: Maximum weight
sure how that's determined. That's pretty much it. Losmandy specs for max payload is for the Telescope side of the mount, so it does not include the counterweight side or the counterweights. Yes the

Re: Hitting my head against the wall...
Hi Sonny, I sometimes have problems identifying which of the 20 stars I can see from my urban SoCal skies, is the right alignment star, so during the summer when I start model building, I start out by

Re: Hitting my head against the wall...
Hi SonnyE, One thing to check, since you¡¯ve done a full reset, is that the correct mount is selected in Gemini. I believe you have a G811, so make sure that¡¯s what¡¯s selected. The default

Re: Maximum weight
I'd actually like a definition similar to how AP defines it for their Mach 2 - they have two graphs, one for RA the other for DEC: https://www.astro-physics.com/mach2gto The capacity is not a single

Re: Maximum weight
I'd like some definition on that specification, too, Arun. Generally the accepted standard for the Asian mounts has been 1/2 of the rating. So I kept my weight from the clamp up less than 15 pounds

Hitting my head against the wall...
So, I revamped my guide scope to a true Piggy-backed with my main telescope. I always wanted to do that, and with Brian's advice it was easy enough. So first night out, I did a factory reset per

Re: Maximum weight
That's the total weight of equipment only, not including counterweights. It is supposed to be rated for 60 lbs ?imaging payload, though I am not sure how that's determined.

Maximum weight
Hi all, sorry another newbie question, When referring to the 60lb maximum capacity weight of the G11, are the balance weights including in that total, or is the 60lb total just the telescope and

Re: Target unreachable?
The simple act of writing things down can help you remember them. Once I jot it down, it seems to be memorized. I got the RA extension kit for my GM811G to make a break point for easier carrying.

Re: Finding stars
In browsing through Michael's PDF, on page 10 I saw something that gave me a PITA, 64 bit file. My computers run fine with 64 bit programs, nice and quick. But, my Infinity camera only has 32 bit

Re: Target unreachable?
lol - good one. glad you sorted it out btw another really important reason to set your limits properly is it helps with imaging time past the meridian and successful meridian flips Brian

Re: Target unreachable?
I think I answered my own question. I followed Scott's, setting limits video, and I didn't get the "target unreachable" message. I always told my students that writing things down will help them

Target unreachable?
I have been doing some practice with my new mount in my living room. Earlier this afternoon I was doing modeling to get a polar alignment and it went well. At 7 pm I tried to do it again, and I kept

I think the high torque servo motors are included in the Gemini 2 Retro-fit kit which is what I ordered and is shipped.

Thank you for your warmth and forgiveness, Paul. I cannot forgive myself. Perhaps it is the short sleep cycle of imaging, processing images, or a twitchy Send finger. But it is not the first time of

Hey Michael, I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the detailed write up you did (I think mainly for me:) about Jupiter imaging and processing a few weeks back. I actually printed it out and
