Russ tried to skip some important steps like setting setting CWD then power up to do a Cold Start Immediately ?followed by Modeling. ?These steps cannot be overlooked. My new Gemini-2 HC went crazy

The plot thickens? Here are some thoughts ...things to try. When you use "Warm Boot" , the Gemini uses it's previously stored position information...of its encoders and distances (motor rotations) to

I want to add some clarification to this when polar aligning, the optics are pointing at north pole, so the amount of rotation is pretty minimal for a widefield optic like the polemaster, tracking on

system, warm restart? that basically leaves the model in place and assumes you are starting from non-cwd position it's better at this point if you cold start [email protected]> wrote:

Thanks all for the comments, I really appreciate it. -? I have not switched the RA/DEC cables since I initially installed the system back in Oct when everything was working correctly.? I did make

That's true. But my mount, *on or off* , is riding this mud ball. Just like everybody else's. All I know is it is working. ;^) ( https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-682569-1.html#11929894 ) -- SonnyE

Note that the QHY Polemaster manual states: “7.When using the PoleMaster, is it necessary to stop RA tracking? No. It is best to keep tracking on when using PoleMaster.” Joe Sent: Wednesday,

Sonny, I should point out that turning off the mount does not stop the Earth from turning :) Paul

Add timezone .... except for mount type/gear ratios all this is fixed when a GPS or SkySafari/SkyFi is attached to the Gemini-2 but this is a good topic to print out and keep in my Losmandy binder.

I use polemaster and I don't even turn the mount on til after I polar align. For rotation I just grab the counter weight shaft and move it about 30 degrees...or close...it works fine at about 20

That's ...interesting. I mean that Sharpcap should care to tell you specifically to turn off tracking (they can't really mean to turn the whole mount off, can they?), whereas Polemaster does not mind

I Polar Align with my GM811G *off.* Otherwise, if mine is on, my RA is tracking. (Moving, rotating.) Plus, Polar Alignment is a mechanical function of Polar Aligning the mount to the North Celestial

Swapped DEC and RA motor cables can ruin your day …

Russ, When I have have experienced issues like this there are two basic things to try. First replace the coin battery in the Gemini Unit. You're probably in the Northern Hemisphere where it's winter

Russ, Assuming you are cold starting in the CWD position you may have a time issue between local time and UT. Paul

Russ, Is you mount in the telescope CWD position when you do a cold start? Paul

I know this sounds crazy, but check that you do not have the RA and Dec cables switched. ?I have done this. ?More than once. Check your time zone. ?I found that setting the time zone to 00, and the

Thanks Brian.? I have a cheat sheet created identifying exactly those checks and I verified a number of time all setting are correct (via handheld).? Going back outside again and starting all

Hi Russ Sorry to hear this, that sounds super frustrating It's definitely sounding like a setting somewhere, so here are some ideas: First, I recommend using the hand controller to enter your

Confused here.? After entering Site Lat, Long and Time, I would expect any mount to at least slew to an area of the sky 'near' the target first (I did complete an excellent polar alignment last
