Hi Steve i would not worry about it right now - chances are it's some movement from the spring-loaded worm your best bet for PHD is to do a baseline guiding by following these

Hey Steve, From my experience and thanks to Brian's help I have learned that you shouldn't worry about DEC backlash measurement. It is just a thing PHD2 can't handle with a spring loaded version.

I received my new GM811G and finally got out under the stars to start learning the mount and Gemini 2 system.? Before I got started, I noticed some movement in the DEC axis.? With minimum effort, i

I believe from memory, having read something on PemPro forum a few weeks ago, that Brian has a sub 1 arc sec PA error using PEC (with Gemini obviously) and below 3" without PEC. But I believe that is

Huh, I live in Switzerland, I might be able to help with lowering shipping cost...

there's been an ongoing discussion about how to hook up your gemini via ethernet/wifi i'm thinking of doing a zoom meeting or possibly facebook live this weekend to go through this setup. (we are

Thanks, Brian, I sent you a PM. It is unrelated to Losmandy but related to other astrophotography equipment that you have some specific experience with.

Was out last night for a few hours.? Tracking and pointing were good.? I double checked and yes, once again Sirius was well above the horizon but missing from the Bright Star list after a

Hi Arun if it's personal, just drop me a line at bvalente at gmail dot com if it's losmandy related it would be better here or techsupport at losmandy dot com -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio

Hi Brian, I was reading some of your posts on CN on flats issues you were having. Can I contact you by PM to discuss further?? I don't know how to do that from this forum.

Well, I answered my own question last night. As recommended in the G11 manual, I calibrated my autoguider at a speed of 2x, then guides at a speed of .5x. As I suspected, the results were a disaster.

Wow, that is quite impressive. My g11 couldn't do that. Have you measured your PA? Mine is 25 to 35 arc sec. I have an older non Gemini mount. It does do an adequate job with the auto guider, but

A while ago I posted about unguided imaging with the G11 finishing out that discussion, here's a stacked image over several nights of unguided imaging - 79 5 minute exposures to be exact. you can

Cheers Clif. best setting for goto or slew speed is 500-600X. ?This is because motors have sweet spots in speeds and efficiency and 800x is a little harsh on them. Running them slightly slower

nice - thanks for the update. keep us in the loop! wrote: -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com <http://brianvalentephotography.com>

My new high torque servomotor just arrived.? I installed it on the RA gearbox and moved the original Dec motor (not high torque) back to the Dec axis.? Original RA motor goes in junk box.? Both

PS, Venus sets below my roof well before Sirius hits the horizon.? When Venus was in the Pleiades recently, I had to hightail it with setup and camera and all to capture a few shots of that grouping

LOL, GN.? That is a reasonable possibility, 'cept I've been into astronomy for almost 6 decades now, so I know what's Venus and what's Sirius.? Trahhhst me!

Hi Sonny and thanks for the welcome! Now that you jogged my memory, I think there was a G811 setting and that's the one I chose.? I had thought about doing the factory reset; maybe I'll go ahead and

Hi Brian, Thank you for the response.? I did not realize I had responses here as I was under the impression some notification would come into my mailbox.? Just checked here on a hunch.? So thanks
