Re: RA axis movement or wiggle
It looks like the AP SLW works different than the Losmandy one.? They have a backoff screw to limit the outward movement of the worm whereas the Losmandy SLW has a backoff screw to limit the inward

Re: Resetting spring-loaded worm
Daniel, Thanks for posting. Captured over 2.5 hrs, great job! You might want to consider toning down your dither. 10 arcsec dither seems mighty excessive! There are those here who can make a more

Chip, if your Ra guide error is twice your Dec error will you get round stars? Peter

Re: RA axis movement or wiggle
Jim, if the wind is noticeably moving your spring loaded worm you might want to batten down the hatches?? you mitigate the wind effect somewhat with a blind of some sort. Most of the time wind

The PEC options didn't appear for me when I was connected via USB, but did when I connected using Ethernet; see this thread (

Re: Help with PemPro on G11/Gemini
PEMPro will overwrite what you already have, so that is probably moot as well but it generally sounds like symptoms of not being connected. [email protected]> wrote:

Thanks, Brian. ?Perhaps all of this is a moot point/issue then? ?Assuming??PemPro is taking care of 2X PEC for me, a couple of oddities still remain (note I did use the?latest PemPro last night

Hi Paul, I was using v1.0.84. ?I just?installed v1.1.10 and tried again ¡­ no difference.? As for a previous PEC, yes as a matter fact ¡­ I made a first attempt of using PemPro last night and

Thanks for all the responses.? ?The universal opinion is that 3mm wiggle is not an issue for general tracking.? ?But how about tolerance to wind?? ?I have been trying to use my 127mm refractor

Re: Help with PemPro on G11/Gemini
Hi Bret Wayback is correct the mount needs to be connected before these are populated, but this may be a moot point for you: Use the latest PEMPro 3.0.0.46 and it will automatically set it to 2x cycle

Re: Help with PemPro on G11/Gemini
Hi Bret, What version of Gemini.NET driver are you using? Might be worth a try to update to the latest test version (1.1.10) to see if that makes a difference: https://gemini-2.com/ASCOM.html It looks

Re: Help with PemPro on G11/Gemini
I do not know, but it is certainly a solvable problem. May be the problem is with the ASCOM platform? The dialog is just what you shows, but no clue why the pulldown box is empty. I don't know if this
