Re: Cold Start unresponsive
Cold Start unresponsive.... Sounds like some of the women I've known.... But with coaxing, and a little cajoling, they could often be warmed up. I'm just happy as a pig in mud to have my clock
Re: Bearings
Hi Magnus, I use to buy ABEC5 when I was roller blading. You can find them anywhere in Europe I believe, at least in Switzerland they are very easy to find. Now dimensions is another thing, imperial

Re: Bearings
Hi! Good idea! (to ask Losmandy) Actually, did not even think of it.... Sonny, you got me there, almost got a fit... SKF is soo Swedish :) almost an international incident, giving them away to

Re: Bearings
Hi Magnus, I have to ask, why not order from Losmandy and get the exact correct bearings? And if you ask real nice, maybe Brian or Tanya could plain wrap them to make it look like a private mail

Re: Bearings
I don't know off hand if there are any European suppliers of R4ZZ bearings (>= ABEC5), but it looks like Boca Bearings (where I got some of mine) on EBAY appear to ship to Sweden (assumption based on

Re: What's wrong with this mount? Help please .
I see you cut your time in half. Now cut it again. It's a matter of dialing things in to your liking. Keep tweaking PHD's settings. And don't fiddle with your mounts mechanical's.... -- SonnyE Sonny's

Re: What's wrong with this mount? Help please .
Thanks for that link, Timothy. Always glad to take a look at things beyond the mainstream. Considering something to do with my extra Losmandy bar in the way of making my imaging train more stable.

Hello all! Summer is quickly approaching and with it too bright nights here for observing. But not for tinkering :) I'm been tinkering some with my mount, and I was thinking of at one point in time

Re: RA axis stability test
My thinking is along the same lines as Chip Louie. But will add that you must consider the Human Element in your quest for perfection. One graph does not an average make. It takes many motions to find

Re: Maybe, I should not blame my mount for it ?
Yes indeed! Getting 300 second or 1200 second exposures where you want your stars to be perfect across the frame will reveal all kinds of issues. Any little mechanical or optical fault will show its

D'oh, I got it now Brendan! Thanks for your post, Mate! I had never ventured into the "The Blue Screen" before. I use one of those little rubber tipped touch screen tools. Touch screens don't usually

Re: G1GT
I¡¯m pretty certain that all you need to do it to use a custom mount type and set the DEC axis as if it were a regular G11 with a value of 360, but the RA axis as if it were a Titan with a value of

Re: G1GT
Louie, Thanks for your fast and effective response. But has anyone G11T with this instrumental weight (66 lbs)? I use Gemini 1 L4, how I choose the mount type, because there is not the G11T option?

Re: Cold Start unresponsive
Dear Brendan, I deeply appreciate your going to all this trouble, especially since you're doing so from a hospital bed. I wish you a swift recovery. Thanks, again. Sincerely, Erik

Re: Cold Start unresponsive
It¡¯s hard to explain ?but the boot process shows a logo screen ( a pretty Gemini 2 logo and credits) then pauses for a short time at ?¡°a blue screen¡± which states ?¡°touch to calibrate¡±.
Re: Maybe, I should not blame my mount for it ?
Hi Sebastian, I'll go out in a limb and start sawing. When I run across these sorts of posts, my first thought is: "Are you moving around by your mount/telescope at all during the imagining?" My

Re: Maybe, I should not blame my mount for it ?
Sebastian: A couple things come to mind. If you are seeing aberrations at very short exposures, it is more than likely something in the optics. At 5 seconds there is very little movement in the mount.

Re: 2 questions for you: Guiding as the next Losmandy Zoom Meetup topic
1. My guiding seems to be excellent to me, and my needs. But I'm always interested in trying to learn more, or gather tips from others. Numbers and logs don't do a lot for me. But I can usually learn
