By 110, I assume you mean the AC adapter. Speed wise, you need to use the mount hand controller to set up slew and move speeds. By default, mine was also very

Sounds like system is set to photo or visual mode. ?Not all speeds. Also check the the mount and gear ratios are set ok. ?You need to inspect all settings or reset it to factory and do your

Don, 110V is well outside the recommended power range, which I think from memory is between 12V and 18V. I would first check that the correct voltage is holding up when slewing as this can be a

Don, Have you checked the speed settings in the Advanced Gemini Settings? I have mine set to around 1/2 the default setting to give me extra time to view mount movements with my remote security
