Hej Magnus! OMG I had issues since two weeks I couldn't figure out. I encountered 9" spikes while guiding out of nowhere. Also it was impossible to polar align using a plate solving solution near

John, The Gemini-1 are generally repairable. The unit has a board that was designed in the day when the chips were larger and their leads were spaced out so a skilled person could de-solder the old

Hi George, I generally follow Brian's work flow here. ? In my case I use Polemaster to do a polar alignment. ? I always do a cold start when I go

1: That warning is telling you that you're overriding the default behavior of Gemini once stopped

I had a look in Gemini.net and two questions came up.... 1. When I check the "nudge" checkbox, I get a warning that I am disabling the Gemini built in slew disabling mechanism and do I want to do

Try Centering speed to nudge the mount out. I forget, but it's likely that slew speed isn't supported when stopped at the safety limit. Yes, when nudge option is turned on, Gemini.NET will simulate

Thanks for the explanation of the "nudge" checkbox. I assume with that checked, a slew will function normally even if the mount has hit the safety limit? So if I track an object until the western

Alignment is not lost after safety limit stop. You can use the HC buttons at centering or slew speeds to back the mount out of the safety limit stop. In Gemini.NET driver you can also ask the driver

Hello folks, I have the latest GM811.? A few weeks back, I posted about adjusting the screw to get the backlash as low as possible, mechanically.? When using the mount for long-exposure imaging,

The motor encoders can be replaced if necessary, though the parts aren’t exactly cheap. The motor decoding in the G2 is done using a DSPIC33 (exact model depends on which G2 version you have). Yes,

Adding to that a bad solder joint on the motor encoder lines of the relevant motor’s DIN socket (especially on early G2) can cause intermittent motor runaway. If your G2 is out of warranty I can

Thanks, Michael. In my case it is the Gemini 2 output, but I don't suppose the encoder detector is something that could be replaced. I don't have the G-2 open right now but I kind of remember all the

Hi George assuming you have Gemini 2 and are building a model for the first time (cold start) you use Align 1 Polar align as best I can using Losmandy polar scope. Set mount at CWD. 2 Do a Quick or

OK Michael so as I build a pointing model adding star after star I always press 'align' not sync, yes? I did just find and watch Brian's episode 8 and it helped as well. Still have addled-astro-brain

Hi George! Ok...I think you are nearly there. The words Align and Synch are this way in the Gemini usage: Synch means:. Do not change the Model parameters. Just recenter the Model so the present

Hi gang, Thanks for mentioning more instances of the motor runaway issue. If that occurs in a Gemini-1 unit, it's cause is that the Gemini fails to detect the signals from the motor optical encoder

Hello.? I'm trying to get my G11 in alignment so goto after goto are dead on. Not quite sure how to do it.? Is there a tutorial or a video for this?? I'm a little confused especially between align

I would have to agree with the screaming sound, where the motors start running at very high speed. It is more like a high rev sound than anything else. For me it will occur regardless if the motors

Yeah, that and the way the western GOTO is implemented were confusing me. Even harder that the mount takes input in degrees and NINA uses time before / after meridian. Frankly, I think this would be a

Paul i think you hit the nail on the head I personally think the default 2.5 deg western goto is a bit conservative FYI there are a couple different ways imaging programs attempt to initiate a
