Re: excessive play in center transfer gear
Hello, I have a G11T and I can play with that inclination, if I tighten the screw too much it does not turn without adding washers, I should have a small Teflon washer and be able to play with that

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
Sean, the troubleshooter should be run without all external software connected to Gemini. As I said , start Gemini.net and connect it to the mount. Start the troubleshooter. Don¡¯t start any other

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
To update:
Woke up and saw the skies were clear (enough) that I went out. I did not polar align or anything, just slewed to M81 and started to guide. I had changed the settings from Visual to Photo

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
So, this has my attention, mine is set to Visual also even though I have not officially done any guiding yet. I am wondering what the differences are between the 3 settings.

excessive play in center transfer gear
The center transfer gear on the RA axis (from motor to worm) on my G11T has a lot of tilt play even though the screw is tight. I tried to add a washer but that just prevents the gear from rotating. Is

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
Don¡¯t neglect recalibrating the guider. That would tell you right away if there are any issues with guiding in both axes and is a good thing to do after updating software or firmware.

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
Hi Paul,
I feel kind of foolish now, I just checked the virtual HC and Visual was selected. I changed that to Photo. After the firmware downgrade all my settings were intact; IP, gateway, NTP, Site,

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
Hi Sean.
"Cannot guide" can have many explanations. One is that you have visual mode set, which ignores guide commands. Another is that you didn't recalibrate the guider. If you were able to

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
No sooner had I posted the "good" news that I realized it is now worse that before. I can not guide.
Starts out first few seconds, and then as you can see above it just goes to hell in a hand basket.

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
As it became dark this evening I went out to test. It was not fully dark out, and I did not polar align. I slewed to M81 and it solved and corrected in 3 tries. Next was M101, this time however it too

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
I would test one thing at a time. Since you reverted to L5 already, go ahead and test with that before trying something different. What Doug (Wayback) suggested shouldn't make a difference, but you

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
Paul,
I should point out that since the upgrade I have been getting a click sound when mount moves/stops. This was most noticeable when the repeated plate solving attempts were made in a quicker

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
Good luck with the next outing, Sean. I suppose the HC 1.6 will still work, but I have not tried them in combination. The older version will not show the firmware versions on the HC info screen. You

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
Hi Sean, you continue to see some strange behavior, so there may be something to the SD card and settings needing a full reset. I wouldn't do it just yet. From your NINA platesolving results, it

So late last night I decided to open GFU and selected the 5.21. Something downloaded, I restarted Gemini and it updated something. But upon being loaded it still said 6.02. This morning I used

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
Hi Sean,
If the GFU has 5.2, that should be easily selected. The Beta ware for L5 I used had some advantages over some older L5's for runaway slews, but I am now not sure if L5.2 is the same. I don't

Re: DEC error post L6 upgrade
Sean,
Sorry to hear of your ongoing troubles. From what you have said your mount was working well before L6 without mechanical issues. So, you do have the option to change back to see if things
