Re: PEMPro Results Analysis Question
Hi Brian - When the monsoons let up I will be rerunning PEMPro.

Re: PEMPro Results Analysis Question
A bit curious how much value there is in a PEC exercise unless you have a really large and high frequency PE; you could detect if you have this by running GA in PHD2. I would think it depends on your

Re: PEMPro Results Analysis Question
not yet, but it's coming I'd be happy to look at your results Jim, which I think i offered before ;) If I recall correctly, your initial data gathering seemed suspect, with no clear periodic error

PEMPro Results Analysis Question
Is there a good tutorial on how to interpret the PEC curves and FFT waveform analysis results?

Re: Valid Guide Rates for PEC on Gemini Level 4
I avoid messing with these deep dark secret settings. ;^) I just run the PEC, and have it start for me automatically, with the Gemini Telescope virtual hand controller I open on my display. But then,

Re: G11 Mount Not Tracking Correctly
I always like posts like this. I can come along after the usual prospectors and usually pick up a few nuggets. I've never extended the legs on my tripod. Never had the need. But I think Michael's

Re: Valid Guide Rates for PEC on Gemini Level 4
Eric, At the time you were using PEMPro there was an issue introduced when adding the two-cyle PEC programming for the Gemini, but that has been long since fixed. PEMPro has been able to program

Re: Valid Guide Rates for PEC on Gemini Level 4
Michael, there are two steps and you keep talking only about the first one. Step one is recording PE data, the other is programming it into Gemini. Recording data into Gemini requires knowing the

Re: Valid Guide Rates for PEC on Gemini Level 4
Ray, The issue with PEMPRO is not the difference between East and West moves, but I don't want to get off topic. The report does not say that. The mount reports its state as slewing periodically and

Re: Valid Guide Rates for PEC on Gemini Level 4
I still think it's a mis translation or a mis statement. I think the statement should be: ...the PEC data is recorded at the present *Tracking* speed.... It cannot be *guide* speed since there is no

Re: G11 Mount Not Tracking Correctly
In addition to verifying that you are not in lunar or solar, make sure that your dec wire is in fact to dec and RA to RA.? Sounds stoopid but I have confused the wires more than once. Sometimes the

Re: Valid Guide Rates for PEC on Gemini Level 4
PEMPro works well on other Gemini equipped mounts if you follow the directions. You seemed pretty stubborn about me being wrong about the move distances being different between East/West, so maybe you

Re: Valid Guide Rates for PEC on Gemini Level 4
Ray, I still cannot get PEMPRO to work with my mount, but I wrote my own PEC programming software :) You state " the Gemini firmware is using the current guide rate instead of the rates defined by

Re: Valid Guide Rates for PEC on Gemini Level 4
the actual guide rate used to train PEC, so it cannot be used to determine the PEC rate; you have to look at the clock divisors in thew currPEC.pec file to determine the PEC rate. this was the part i

Re: Valid Guide Rates for PEC on Gemini Level 4
Eric, I recall our discussion on the CCDWare forum last year, where you didn't believe me that the PEC move distance was different between east and west moves. I am glad to see you now understand.

Re: G11 Mount Not Tracking Correctly
Sorry to read of your headache getting proper performance. It seems that your G11 has a very light payload, as your lenses seem very light compared to the strength of this G11 mount. So something

Re: Valid Guide Rates for PEC on Gemini Level 4
Good morning all, Based on my observations using my G11 with Gemini 2 in the past few years, the guide rate does not affect PEC once a PEC file is loaded. The currPEC.pec file contains all the
