Hmmmm... Thanks Derek.? Will need to check on that.? Since my system is in an observatory and is fixed, I read somewhere to always use Warm Restart.? But since I do park at CWD, I will need to find

This is great information. ?Thanks, all. ?I will follow up with the seller on a couple of the points you raise. Interesting question, Derek, about the hand controller. ?Since it has 4 buttons on

Hi! The only motor that is clearly shown from side view is the RA motor, visible from your rear view photo. That motor shows no "cooling fins" so that is an oldest version servo motor. The latest

Hi all. I’m on the waiting list for a GM-8G, and a used opportunity has come my way. ?The mount was made pre-2011, had Gemini-1 and has been upgraded to Gemini-2. ?It’s also been upgraded to
