Re: RA spikes towards west
O.M.G. PEC spikes!!! I'd never ever guess that one! So many Sci Fi movies have the same theme: glitches in the machine code. From Westworld to.... you name it. I was also thinking of the great movie

Re: RA spikes towards west
Hi! Michael :) Thanks. I was only thinking mechanics. But there are other things. And what might cause problems when you're not thinking of it? PEC Turns out, I had PEC turned on. But it should be

Re: RA spikes towards west
Hi! This clearly affects my imaging. The spikes produce doubled stars, so to speak. Subs not usable. So it needs to be fixed. I totally agree on the slightly wiggly-jiggly graphs :) But this one

Re: RA spikes towards west
How is your imaging? Just because you are getting some jags does not mean you have a problem. If it shows in your imaging and is insurmountable in processing, that's a problem. But in my experiences,

Re: Poor Tracking GM8
Hi Chip, Definitely a very brassy color. One thing I noticed is I have to turn the clutch knobs with excessive force to get the scope to have a stiff resistance to moving. Daniel said there might be

Re: G11 with Gemini2 issues with Go To
I can't speak to the older, or first generation Gemini II units, mine is very newish, February this year. But... have you tried a Factory Reset? Then enter your own Lon-Lat, time, and date, and

Re: G11 with Gemini2 issues with Go To
Hi James, I'm one one the rarities in this group: I only have Gemini1 units so far. Many of them.... So I cannot say explicitly that your Gemini-2 is exactly the same as what I wrote. You will have

Re: G11 with Gemini2 issues with Go To
Thank you Brendan, When I had the mount connected to the web interface, the voltage was good. last night I was not able to connect through the ethernet (blaming on the new windows update), so my only

Re: G11 with Gemini2 issues with Go To

Re: Apology to the polar alignment scope
I¡¯m glad to see they¡¯re still available. That¡¯s got to be a tough business, making a product that, once it¡¯s successfully installed, has a life of a quarter century, with a limited pool of

Re: Apology to the polar alignment scope
I bet this would be a NASA APOD if you would submit it.

Re: RA spikes towards west
Hi Magnus, Given all that you have done, I doubt it is the mount drive.... but other ideas follow.... The camera optics are very sensitive to any mechanical looseness. When I've gotten glitches in

RA spikes towards west
Hi! I seem to have run into a problem where I think I'd need some smart input. I've cleaned and relubed my G11, put everything together and adjusted the RA worm as usual. Now I am also running a

G11 with Gemini2 issues with Go To
Hi, I purchased a used G11 with the older Gemini 2 Go To. The mount worked great for the first few weeks, then it started going nutty. Pointing in strange places I did not tell it to go. I looked up
