Update: i found that reference in the documentation. i checked with Ray, i think that may be out of date. the valid range is 0.2x - 0.8x however, I really recommend you stick with 0.5x for two reasons

Hi sbasprez you should be fine with up to 0.8x, although 0.5x is definitely recommended Where did you see this error? I am in PEMPro now (and have used it for years) and never ran across that error

I have always used 0.8x as the guide rate when training PEC on my G11 with Gemini 1 Level 4.? I was just looking at the Gemini instructions in PEMPro V3 and it has this warning:? The Gemini firmware

Throwing the slide switch is going to disturb the mount. But I see no reason a normally on (closed) momentary switch can't be wired into the power switch and be used to cut power when desired.

Another idea to consider: I thought that the autoguider or motor motion in RA rate of 1X just shuts off the RA motor if it is trying to "slew" in one direction, else 2X sidereal in the other

Yea it looks like an RA power interrupt switch on the hand controller is the ticket. Allowing it to track on an alt/az mount moves the object out of the fov faster than if it was off. Anyway the 492

Donald, Anything you can do to make using the scope and mount easier and more accessible will improve the number of observing sessions you get per year, trust me! Before I got the Wheelie Bar and

i saw some suggestions for uses previously, but i'm also thinking you could just insert a power switch? :)

While I appreciate the theoretical interest, the luddite in me still asks, what is gained by inhibiting the RA motor output, vs. just shutting off power to the 492? -Les

Hi John here's a quick synopsis of stopping the 492 drive output electronically. IC U2 (MIC58001) pin 1 (CLR) and 22 (/OE)are connected together and held "low" in normal operation.? This "low state"

Another is to time the movement across a pair of crosshairs to calculate the separation of a binary pair. Lately I turn off tracking, watch some TV and go back out without worry of the scope hitting

One reason, old school, is to time a star moving across an eyepiece to calculate field of view, if I remember correctly. Ken

I just measured those bolts. Both the bottom hold down bolts for the worm blocks to the mounting plate, and the side OPW bolts for the worm blocks to the OPW, are 10-32 thread. Greg will source the

Thank you all again for the superb replies.? I am probably going to go with the G11G and Polemaster w/ sharpcap.? I do like the idea of the tripod on the dolly. If I do that, then it will be a huge

Sonny, There is nothing authentically American about using imperial fasteners. As to why Losmandy uses imperial fasteners I think they were more widely in use by American machinists at the time the

Put the slew/guide setting at 2X and pull the E pin to ground n the guider (aka ST4). That will shut off the RA. Mark Christensen

Why do you want to stop RA traking surely the object will rapidly drift out of view? D. Sent: 12 August 2020 18:57 To: [email protected] Subject: [Losmandy_users_io] How to pause a 492 digital

I'm doing a circuit on this now but cannot release all the info due to CIC but can give enough to accomplish a task like this. Give me a few days I'm almost done my cct.? I guess you could run it on

Hi Greg! I'm pretty new around here, with a new mount. But everything I've seen is American Standard size, thread, and pitch. I haven't taken mine apart (nor do I plan to). Scott's use of all American

I, too, run a GM811G HD. On occasion mine would go haywire and do a 180° slew. *A Factory Reset ( https://youtu.be/j8DVEvnlBYI )* fixed the odd behavior. Which also requires you do your initial set
