Re: Problem with Gemini I
Hi Bittor, The fact that the communications is intermittent seems to point to a poor connection, a cable that's being pulled or snagged on something, or maybe a broken wire/connector that's making an

Re: Polemaster on Losmandy's
I bought the QHY Losmandy adapter for my GM-8 but found the view from there didn't quite clear a local obstruction. So bought the ADM dovetail adapter and clamped it on the dovetail on my GSO RC.

Hi Matt, So you downloaded the free one? There is one listed for like $20 but that seemed risky to me for an app of unknown quality. -- Chip Louie Chief Daydreamer Imagination Hardware Astropheric

Re: Polemaster on Losmandy's
Chip, I loaded the Android app, yes. It is not (or was not) polished like the PC software. While it didn't say BETA, I believe it is (or was a year and a half ago). Some of the text was not English,

Re: Polemaster on Losmandy's
Hi Donnie, "I am not sure if anyone is familiar with the Skywatcher EQ6-R, but now, I am at a toss-up between that or the G11G. " I certainly am. And you are comparing Apples (G11G), to Lemons (EQ6-R

Re: simple servo motor control
My biggest problem with the Nema motors was finding the flexible couples small enough in diameter to fit. Most are 19/20mm and? and the GM8 needs 14mm. Apparently, I must have found some from Ali

Re: Gemini-1 Alignment Displays Polar Axis Offset (Altitude and Azimuth) in what Units?
Thanks for the reply, Paul. My intuition said that it was in arc-minutes. But the manual says it is in arc-seconds. But I can see from the link you gave that the manual is wrong. Michael has my

Re: Wireless Remote control of the Gemini 2
I can vouch for this approach. It is also a lower power solution for when you are mobile. It will be a learning curve to switch to this though.
