I don`t have the SLW but have a question for those who do: are the 2 bearing block screws that come from underneath left quite loose then? Keith

Thanks Paul and everyone This was the bit I was primarily interested in, but it was helpful to hear how everyone is doing it Thanks Brian portfolio https://www.brianvalentephotography.com/ Sent:

What Paul has described is exactly what I do. The Optec Alnitak flat panel is secured to the observatory wall by one of those television mounts that enables one to pull out and move to the left or

If you're using Gemini, one way to do this is to define a Home location pointing at the flat panel. You can then command Gemini to go Home when you need to take flats, or park when you are ready to

I am WAAAY behind, and as such have not read the responses to this query.. But there is a third option, as you said (roughly) "hit the tripod leg".. i.e. there is no problem clearing the motors.. For

Brian: I use an electoluminated light panel that is about 16" x 12" that when I am ready to take the flats, align my 8" C8 straight up and take the flats. John Hobbs hobbs_john@...

For those of you who have large(r) telescopes, how do you handle your flats, and if you are automating them, what is your strategy? the reason I'm asking here on losmandy is this: i have a 12" RC and

I think John pretty much netted it out. You could do it either way. The RA extension is quite a bit less, but you have the added benefit of being able to break apart RA and DEC The pier extension

I guess the question is how much additional clearance you need/want. The RA extension is only going to give you a couple of inches at best, while a pier extension will give you 8 or 12 inches

The RA extension worked out for me, but this was with a different OTA. But this is what it is intended for, to give some extra clearance. Going higher vertically may not help the clearance in the same

Tom, In the (diagnostic) scenario I described (turning off guiding but watching/logging the guide star) the RMS is of little meaning unless you have no drift. RMS is a statistical measure around a

Mark, I had a similar problem (see my post on the Gemini group of around a month ago). A new battery, but the system was not saving the time, although the location was correct (I did not use a GPS).

Hi All, Thank you for the comprehensive responses. Mark I've just read yours for the second time and I'm still digesting, I clearly have much to learn :) I'm going to read it again now. I'm using

Hi Mark great questions 1. yes it should save the time. not sure why that's happening to you, make sure you save the values and you do not have any settings on your computer to overwrite these values

Hi, I've search high and low, and cannot find answers to these two questions. 1. My Gemini-2 hand controller does not save the time, nor does it get the time from the GPS (although it does take the

Wrote this up today elsewhere: . There were some differences in how folks numbered the pins of the RJ-12 modular jack. Probably why they flipped the connections. I know Meade PCBs start with pin 1 on

Thanks Mark. I thought I remembered seeing comments about grounding concerns with 492 drive as well, but IIRC that was for the "no relay box" scenario. Will try it out next non-cloudy night. If the

Tom, You didn't mention what your guiding exposure is. If less than 2 or 3 seconds then, yes indeed, you will be chasing seeing. You also didn't mention if you find the resulting images acceptable or
