Do you already own the M16" SCT?? ?If not the classic planetary SCT for portable use is a C11 or with a second person to help load it a C14.? At some point the return in resolution vs weight vs

The payload weight rating and inertial moment are only two of many considerations. In this case, with a focal length a bit over 4 meters and very narrow FOV, mounting method and flexure are two more

I connect the mount to the ASIAir via the USB-B port in the bottom right of the Gemini panel. I connect the USB-A side of the cable to one of the USB-A v2 ports (black ports) on the ASIAir. I usually

Although I don't possess this unit, I would inspect the ports on the Gemini by employing a PC with the Gemini Telescope Service installed.? I'd ensure a connection to the Gemini-2 and using both USB

Hi ASIair users.... This is a reposte in hopes of getting responses related to USB connection. I am helping a friend set up his recently purchased ASIAir Plus and G11G w Gemini2 (which I sold him). He

Hi Neil, Southern/Northern hemispheres are indeed different, and the calculation for side of pier is different based on this setting in the ASCOM driver. What I find strange is that when you turn off

Hi Chip Louie, Your reply is very useful, especially where you have all the router performance results. I do need to answer in a different direction because of my situation. The purchaser is pretty

Hi Paul Report PierSide was set to False. I have now set it to True, reconnected to the mount and tried my tests again. The N.I.N.A logs are still showing SOP=pierEast even though the scope is on the

I know people imaging with a 70+ pound Newtonian payload on a G11G and FHD no problems.? I can't imagine the a 16" SCT would be a bad payload being a lot shorter tube with a much lower polar moment,

Hi Neil, did you try to turn off Gemini Reports Side of Pier and see if that works any better? Regards, -Paul

Hi Roger, I h

Neil, I may be mistaken, but I believe that Gemini.net IS the ASCOM-based telescope driver. If you haven't already done so you might want to download the ASCOM platform (see

Hi, Some great and practical advice! I am helping a friend set up his recentlypurchased ASIAir Plus and G11 w Gemini2 (which I sold him). What is the proper sequence to startup and get connected and

I'm connecting using the Gemini.NET driver. The mount is already reporting the pier side, but it is reporting that its in the east when it is actually in the west. Now if i was in the northern

Neil, Are you connecting using the ASCOM driver? If so, open the Profile Explorer, go to Telescope Drivers, ASCOM.GeminiTelescope.Telescope, and confirm that the ReportPierSide value is set to True,

Gee I don’t have a 16” ….we’re they not the Meade ACF…..that thing is huge. I cannot imagine many mounts could manage it. ?I wouldn’t even think a Titan is in the range maybe one of the

So, I've been doing more testing. I have N.I.N.A set to use telescope side of pier. I have Gemini set to Report the pier side I am imaging an object in the east (so the scope is Pier side

I know the stated capacity of the g11t (75lbs imaging 90lbs visual) but having this mount for a few months I think that's overrated. I think a 16" SCT (67lbs) for planet imaging is definitely pushing

I too have the G811 for my 9.25 Edge HD, along with a ZWO ASI2600, EAF and OAG, as well as the surprisingly heavy Celestron reducer. The G811 handles it all with no issues

I use a GM811 works great for C9.25 for imaging. Visual as well.....
