Re: RA clutch slip?
John,
Thanks again - roughed up the clutch disk, and hope I got the washers and bearings correct (they always have a way of getting jumbled up ;-)? Wonder if there is a printed diagram somewhere of

I've used the adm adapter but find it's limited in the weight it can handle. There are springs in the adapter that can shift. Have you noticed that shift and, if so, how did you correct it?

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
When you connect to the mount with NINA it will prompt you if the settings do not match, and I can select to either use the mounts or NINA's settings. Now you may be on to something here.

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
This might be a silly question but, how are you starting the mount? Are you using cold start? With CWD and both scopes pointing north?

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
Make sure you do at least one Align or Sync after you start the model.? To check if plate solve is misbehaving, try doing a goto to a known bright star without doing plate solves. If you see it in

Re: G11T Gemini 2 L6 safety limits
A few things are important to making sure safety limits are properly observed:

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
For an equatorial mount you can visualize cone error by looking at the mount from either the west or east side of the mount. An EQ mount with no cone error will have the telescope optical axis

Re: G11T Gemini 2 L6 safety limits
Recheck your safety limits.? What release of NINA and Gemini.Net driver?? NINA just issues a Goto.

Re: RA clutch slip?
Dale,
The clutch discs are easy to get at - no wrenches required. Just spin the clutch knob at the way off and pull the shaft up and out. Just remember the order of the thrust washers and bearings
