Re: PEC training
Yes, I agree. The oval stars tonight were because the P-P RA error at about 2-3" was noticeably higher than the DEC (which was VERY smooth and <1"). Usually they are roughly equivalent and the stars

Re: PEC training
Ye, I am aware of those checkboxes and functions. While I can see how to turn PEC on and off, I don't see a way to ERASE it. Again, not an issue if it only stores one curve. Paul -- Paul

Re: PEC training
Thanks Brian, that makes sense. Too bad the G2 does not average multiple sessions though. I can certainly try PemPro on a trial basis but I'm afraid that I find the purchase cost of $149

Re: PEC training
PS i should have also mentioned you can deactive/ delete PEC from inside the Gemini Telescope.net application the PEC checkbox to enable/disable is right there on the soft hand controller [image:

Re: PEC training
Hi Paul guiding) but if anything, my (assumed) PE gets worse. For high quality astro imaging, you need a high quality PEC. this approach is not high quality enough. you really need to be using

PEC training
First of all, I'm aware this is a dumb and basic question. But for the life of me I can't find a definitive answer online. Now that I am using multi star guiding which reduces the effects of

Re: PEC OFF
Hi Russ NINA is unaware of PEC status in the Gemini so it won't turn it on or off you just need to ensure the "Turn on PEC on connect" is enabled in Gemini Telescope.net [image:

Re: ASI120mini question
Can you align them during daylight?? Center main scope on a telephone pole or tree (anything in the distance).? You can use a camera or eyepiece.? Then once centered, repeat using the guidescope

Re: ASI120mini question
Hi Tony, I don't know what your imaging scope focal length is but as long as they are pointed in the same general place and the imaging scope focal length is not much past 1,600mm or so it should

PEC OFF
I noticed tonight while imaging with NINA, the Gemini status window is showing PEC off.? Earlier tonight I used PEMPRO to get my PEC really low.? Shouldn't NINA be turning on PEC while I'm imaging

Re: multi-star PHD2!
I got to see the Multi-Star in action last night. Nice improvement, I liked it shown several highlighted (circled) stars, and one boxed, which the Auto-Guider locked on. I still want a one-click

Re: multi-star PHD2!
My whole backyard is my pee-place. LOL! If the dog doo's it, I can wee-wee there, too. Discreetly, of course. It's not all that gross. I just hit the yard with the hose now and then anyway. My Dad

Re: ASI120mini question
I like my two scopes aligned. But they do not have to be exactly aligned to work great. After all, they work independently of each other. I will use Polaris for initial aligning. Then when I have as

Re: ASI120mini question
Hi Tony the short answer is yes. Aligning the scopes is important to avoid differential flexure which can cause a lot of guiding and imaging headaches. If your imaging scope isn't too long in focal

ASI120mini question
I set up an ASI 120mini camera with a 60mm guide scope. Having a lot of difficulty setting it up and aligning with the main scope. If I use this setup only for auto guiding purposes do the two need to

Re: G11 Gemini II ASIAIR
Chip, As you would have seen, I¡¯m very much a newbie to Losmandy and Gemini 1 having moved over from Celestron. It¡¯s been a bit of a curve, but I love the Losmandy engineering. next step is to

Re: multi-star PHD2!
John sounds good - aside from wanting to see them larger, what do you want to do that PHD isn't helping you to do?

Re: multi-star PHD2!
Thanks Brian. I think that is all the standard stuff I have been using. I probably went off topic from the multi-star theme. Perhaps I will post some screenshots from my next outing to further
