I think i have that power supply too! it should be fine just try to isolate when and where the problem occurs. From what it sounds like, it's only when you are issuing to goto with both motors running

Russ, Look at the DIN sockets and you will see the round pin hole, and a linear slot too for each pin. There are metal fingers in the slots. You can get a thin nail or blade into the slot and push the

Good suggestion! That sounds safer and more effective than mechanically removing oxidation. I remember having a spray can of Radio Shack contact clean somewhere. If I can find that, I'll give it a

Thanks, Brian. My supply is a Pyramid 5-amp (7-amp surge), 12-volt supply set for 13.8 volts. I'll look into whether there is a voltage set adjustment internally for a higher input to the mount's

There is no "right way" as any of those work but the generally preferred and accepted "normal" way is to have one leg pointing north and the Gemini mounted to the opposite (south) side. it does not

Chip nice writeup It's getting better at the shop but it's still quite a few weeks lead time right now when are you coming back to finish your mount? :)

A day or two ago I asked how best to achieve CWD position. Sonny replied I just realized that my tripod is set up so the counterweight shaft is between two legs, it can’t be over a leg. Not that it

Hi Jeff, My name is Chip, Louie is my surname. The main issue is the value proposition of buying a used Losmandy mount for imaging that lacks Gemini 2 and spring loaded worms. If you don't have these

That has always been my first line of attack on an intermittent contact ;) Started using it back before it was called DeOxIt..... it used to be called Cramolin. Caig Labs makes some miraculous claims

i would just use some deoxit on the contacts -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentepho

Hi Russ there are usually two culprits of motor stall gear binding (which is sounds like you've investigated) low power - it sounds like this may be worth exploring. As michael said, make sure all

I would be VERY careful using a file. Most contacts are plated and using a file on them will very likely remove some plating. This can expose the underlying base metal which will then corrode, making

Russ, A few things can cause this behavior. First of all, check the motor cable both ends for any corrosion of the 6 pins at each end. I try to polish those connection pins up. Likewise the female pin

Last time I used my Losmandy G11/Gemini-1, it kept giving "Motor Stalled" message when starting go-to alignment. I came to believe the problem was with the Dec motor/gear train. So yesterday during

I'd be fine with adding switches, especially if there were a DIY kit offered from Losmandy.? From this thread on the Gemini forum ( /g/Gemini-II/topic/17915575#8015 ) , it sounded

I'm in the "buy new, don't inherit do-do" camp. I'm not saying the used mount isn't a great value, it may very well be great. But it might also have some very frustrating quirks, or wear and tear, to

I have my configuration set to do a Cold Start, because I always want to build a new model. I did that just to by-pass the "Prompt if not Started", which I believe is the default Boot. How many Warm

Hi. ?Would someone be able to comment on how the RA and DEC divisors can be used to generate a custom tracking rate? I would be interested in this for doing “track and stack” imagery of

...as far as CWD, Bill, I have a plumb bob I hang on a hook centered on the toe-saver weight stop. It's pretty simple, just a steel fishing leader, 24" long, with a 1 ounce pyramid sinker on one end.
