There is an official Facebook page managed by Losmandy. I'll definitely try telescopius for posting pictures, I already used it for finding targets, very useful :-)

Dave, We would need an administrator to volunteer. Flickr administration is minimal active. Flickr is a simpler, just give me the pictures please, UI. If someone want to create the FB page, I'm game.

Bittor, Not sure about Gemini 1, but had a similar issue with Gemini 2 failing to center accurately in SGP. In that case going into the hand controller to Restore Factory Defaults was the answer.

I use?https://telescopius.com/ it's free and focused on astronomy. It's a lot like astrbin where you add your equipment, sub details etc, but it's free as in free beer.

I know it's not really standard and somehow controversial but I've changed the gearboxes on my mount to McLennan 25:1 then 50:1. It made a big difference in tracking for my planetary imaging. The

I clean with turp and soak in WD40 then air dry and regrease. +1 for superlube both spray and gel tube for all bearings. I use MP50 on the spur gears. Tried a few different greases but I find it's the

WD-40 will certainly dissolve the old grease, but it's a somewhat expensive way of doing that. Standard paint solvent (petroleum spirits), Kerosene (Paraffin in the UK) and diesel fuel all work just

Glenn, I suggest: 1. Just use sidereal tracking. 2. Planets, sun, and moon are not stars and they do move. So you want autoguiding. It is free and built into Fire capture! 3. Download and

From CWD and line-of-sight to Polaris, I turn on my Gemini 2 controller and do a simple goto to Mars. Planetary tracking to keep the planet roughly centered doesn't work very well. It's specifically

Should have created it on Facebook, most users already have.

Guess I wasn't clear, the asiair interface (software) on my android device will not connect to the Losmandy. I understand the physical cabeling. Thanks Randy

Randy, The camera although you can physically connect a camera with the mount directly using USB, it does not work. You need to connect the USB cables from each to a computer, such as a Raspberry Pi

How far is really entirely depending on what is on the clamp. I'm using an Orion ED80T CF, but I have a large manual filter wheel mounted in my imaging stream (8 filter positions, 1.25"). So the

I use Astro Photo Tool. I like it. Works well. Cheap. I tried SGP and hated it. Also been playing with NINA. It’s free, great interface and works well. -- Rick Paul Tucson, AZ

For the life of me I can't get the asiair to connect to the Gemini 2 under any usb baud rate. I have tried as outlined here to connect via usb. Funny that skysafari sees the mount and controlls it

Hi Sonny, I am also curious what you have your limits set to ? I have the RAEXT and 12" Ext, ( but I removed my original 4" riser ? from the FHD tripod...) (With my imaging train on a ED102 with a

Sonny, how long past meridian can you go with the 12 inch? All night? -- Rick Paul Tucson, AZ

Hi Rick! The other guys will help you with 1 and 2. Question 3: I can attest to using an EX12 extension, and the RAEXT on my GM811GHD. When dreaming about my 811 (born February 2020) I decided I

It's OK Carl. No harm, no foul. I just have a particular ilk towards these subscription things. -- SonnyE Sonny's Youtube Channel ( https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=sonny+edmonds ) (I

OK, I jumped in Andy. Thanks! Just the freebie version for me. Those subscription programs are, to me, just a nickel and dime you to death scheme. Give me ownership, or gimme free. My one
