Re: Upload from PC to Gemini

Re: Warm RA Motor
Apparently, it was tracking with intermittent RA Stalling. I thought an RA Stall stops the motors. I had adjusted the worm gear a few days ago so I am surprised it tightened up so soon.

Would anyone here happen to have copies of the firmware binary or hex code for the EPROM's for the Losmandy dual-axis controllers? Also it is my understanding that the EPROM code for the GM-8

Re: 811G lack of DEC dampening options!
Check the two Azimuth bolts and the Altitude bolt on the mount.. They may have been loose when you received the mount assuming you would tighten them when you polar align.. And make sure the scope is

Re: 811G lack of DEC dampening options!
Ryan The term "springy oscillation" describes what I see when mainly centering the scope for visual use i.e. repetitive image movement with a period of maybe less than 1/2 second. I've observed really

Re: 811G lack of DEC dampening options!
I bought a G11G last spring and thought the idea of a spring-loaded worm gear was great, as it was, my EQ6-R Pro didn't have this. I hadn't got to the point where I would see any apparent improvement

The Meade 12" SCT is about the same weight as a C14. A Meade 2120 is about the same weight as a C11, which isn't that much heavier than the C9.25. The original G11 was a modification of the Losmandy
