Geoff, I think you will find once you get your equipment and capture software in order and you get familiar with the routines, the setup will work for the entire night without much intervention. It

If you are using the Gemini 2, there is an option for the G11T, which is the one you should use. I would not use either of the Titan, as the gearing is different. The gearing details are here under

Hi Don, I spoke to Brian recently, and he said that they produced very few Titan50...that is the Titan RA with a 50:1 gearbox. So use the Titan25 (standard Titan RA) setting. That is the Titan with

Hello All, So had a few questions regarding setting up my new TRA axis. First:? Unlike the G-11 RA there are no setting circles. What is the best way to know I am really at CWD position? I was using

Kenn, Send a photo of your system for my reference. But the same idea applies. Any gears in these systems have small setscrews on the hubs and those can loosen up over time and temperature changes. So

Thank you for the response. I will look into the 'endcap' on the worm gear housing, forgot about that one. The design of the transfer gears, there are three of them, are three different containers

I use photovoltaic panels, MPPT charge controller, and deep cycle batteries. Many public places don't allow generators, so, unless you are all by yourself in the wilderness, a generator may not be an

Kenn, Generally speaking, don't make the friction of the worm to ring gear tight at all. If you do the motor can slow down, and you'll get strain on the motor and the plastic gearbox. However there

I purchased my Losmandy Titan back in 2012 and have enjoyed the mount but recently I’m having questions about the DEC Backlash. Setting the speed to ‘Centering’ it may take as much as 20 seconds

One of the reasons I switched to ZWO wax to get into the ASIAIR-PRO computer system for imaging. The ZWO uses so much less power it is not even funny. The ASIAIR app and firmware has come so far in

*Thanks again* to all you guys for your input and suggestions.??A few notes: · I did look at the Mac client for PoleMaster, last updated in 2018 as far as I could tell, and saw multiple complaints

There are some new risk-v systems coming out that are even more efficient -- but you may have to compile the whole astro stack by hand, and it will be buggy. They may be better to try in a year or

Switching to a raspberry pi over x86 makes a huge difference. I tried to switch from a pi3 to an atom x86 and the lithium power tank I use, only lasted 2 hours. Switch back to the pi and it runs for

Hi Scout, I run my GM-8/Gemini 2 Mini, ASI294MC camera, ASIAIR Pro, guide camera, and a single lightly used dew heater with a Goal Zero Yeti 500X power box. It is Lithium and has lasted 8 hours (as

What I'm seeing in my captures of Thor's Helmet looks to be about this <https://www.eso.org/public/images/eso1238c/> size. *** HAHA!! I have nowhere NEAR the computing power to do an image like that..

I, too, used an AGM battery for many years. But I don't go afield much anymore. When I did I used the AGM Group 24 battery to run the mount and cameras. And I used my truck to run the inverter and my

Hi Scott, I use an AGM cell in a large heavy duty Craftsman plastic tool box. The box was chosen for its generously sized bottom section and deep lid with flip open storage. There is plenty space for

GM811GHD, ED80T CF telescope, Atik Infinity OSC camera. Not sure what that comes out to in Arc Minutes, sorry. All I target are DSO Nebula. Usually small, because my telescope and camera combination

Hi Scott i've done various versions of all the above, from rolling my own w/ deep cycle marine batteries to my latest jackery. of course they all have pros and cons the most important thing I did was

Scott...I use 2 options...I have a Honda 2KW generator (very quiet) (pricy too) and a bank of deep cycle (group 27) batteries. It's best not to mix things on the same battery...like cameras and dew
