Tom just to confirm you are using polemaster software and the polemaster attachment correct? can you send a pic of that setup? sorry - i have to ask the simple questions tcoverda@...> wrote:

My initial alignment was using my iPhone sitting on my level tripod point at due N and then I used my green laser to check that everything was aimed at polaris. GM-8 set to 36 degrees (I am 90 miles N

Hi Tom yeah that does sound frustrating tracking can be on or off - honestly it doesn't really make that much difference at the pole. i would have it on since one of the steps is to rotate it (and i

Hi Brian, I tried every combo of exp & gain settings. I was running this polar alignment ffrom 6:35 until 8:40 and the best I could achieve was only two stars in the pattern (the little circles). The

if you are using polemaster, you can adjust the exposure and gain settings to be more sensitive. Not sure when you are doing this, but I find earlier in the evening can be a challenge. it needs to be

Robert, very timely post. I had a clear sky, level tripod and a good North alignment with my laser BUT I could never find more than 2 stars fitting the alignment pattern. I spent 2.5 hours trying

Hi Scott at what point do you experience this? if it's from a point in the video, can you reply with the time in the video? Brian

Here's a video that may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrMuLJTi0Fs Regards, -Paul

Hi Warren Michael offered some good info on amperage, etc. Personally I own the powerbox pro, but never thought of connecting my mount to it. primarily because I prefer to run the Gemini at a higher

The mount itself should not use much power...only if it is way unbalanced or gears jammed. Typical power into my G11s is: Gemini bootup: 0.15 amp Gemini starts sidereal tracking: add 0.10 amp Gemini

Hi Stephen I suggest you reset the Gemini to HGM Defaults (I assume it's a Gemini II) and then do a baseline guiding by following this procedure:

Instead of powering the mount's control panel directly from a 12v power source (in my case, that would be from the Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 240, 240Wh Backup Lithium Battery 16.8Ah,

I’m going to get things pieced together inside tonight, might be able to get it outdoors tomorrow. Is there a good checkout procedure? I thought my priority might be to get it Polar aligned, and run

Congratulations on your bargain G11. The only thing that looks original seems to be the left side block saying "Celestron by Losmandy". The side Elevation knobs, the Gemini-2, the tucked spring loaded

It’s an older Celestron model, but I pulled the trigger anyway. Looks to be in good shape with upgraded servos as near as I can tell. And after watching lots of videos, I like the fact that it

Michael, Thanks so much for the detailed reply and suggestions! I will give some of those a try. I'll give the Losmandy folks a break for holidays and to recover from COVID before I pester them but

Had a clear night tonight so tried the polemaster out. Very impressed with how quick this is to get good polar alignment.

What is the procedure for eliminating dec backlash on the Titan 50?

Hi I have a G11 with Spring loaded Worm on both axis.? I watched a video from Losmandy on it, and one of the axis has no backlash.? To make sure we are on the same page, my definition is that

I spoke with the owner tonight, he will hopefully send me a pic of the bottom of the mount.? I have plans to see it tomorrow:
