I got some PMs regarding these accessories.? So, continuing this thread, I put together a WORD doc (in PDF) with more information and some pictures of the individual components.? I might turn this into a WIKI page.? In the mean time, attached is the document.? Feedback is welcomed.
I finally have what I believe to be the main rig for my future ROR observatory. The adapter plate on the pier is for an EQ8R, that was all that was in stock. I was considering that as an option anyway. It has a center 1/2" hole so adding 6 more holes was not a big deal. It is extremely rigid with no perceptible vibrations when it is banged.

Henk, I took another look at the column.? Is it gold all the way around??

Maybe it's just exposure to the environment, e.g.? hot and cold temperatures?? Regardless, I have never see such an profound and even color change.

Re: Cannot connect to Gemini; No such host is known
Some routers allow you to reserve an IP address for a specific MAC address. I¡¯ve got mine set up like that. Worth checking to see if your router allows you to do the same thing.?

Sure is s crazy year and always happy to be here, but what¡¯s thanksgiving?
From downunder, it all appears a bad time for Turkeys! ? We have emu¡¯s and they are impossible to catch and I hear not great eating. Indeed there was a big emu plague way back in 2930s. ?The Australian Army was called to cull them but failed, badly ?¡°Sad day in Australian military annals, the Emus beat them!
I suppose the Emus were happy with themselves! ?Quite the opposite to said Turkeys! ?A rollicking read!
Though I hear the President pardons one Turkey each year! ??
But all I all good to be here Thankyou to all
cheers

Re: Cannot connect to Gemini; No such host is known
Seems like your DNS lookup is failing for some reason. Can you connect to your mount with a browser using ? What is your Gemini2 battery voltage?
I'm assuming you are connected via a router using DHCP. Let us know if you are using a direct connection or a ethernet switch instead. Can you plug in your handset and go to menu --> System --> Network and see if DHCP is enabled and if you have an assigned IP address?
On your router, does your router interface have to ability to see the ip addresses of the connected entities? It is possible if you had a power outage or if the router was offline for a while that the mount was assigned a different IP address and it does not match the address in the hand control.
Not sure what is going on but I am out at my observatory and trying to connect my pc to my G11G.? Getting this error message and I have checked all the connections.? I've been running Version 6 and have had no issues.? Any help would be appreciated.
