Hi Tom, If you are up for it my advice is to determine what is causing the stiffness. Chances are the grease has melted and migrated all over the place and left behind the clay used in the grease

FYI if you use a computer, there is the Gemini Telescope.net ASCOM application which has a software version of the hand controller so you can save both sets of buttons Brian

Isn't it amazing how many lights recently built structures have? Even single family houses out in a rural area where my sister lives, have 3 or more bright lights in the front and 2 or more in the

Smidsy that HC is basically a set of switches that as low you to move the mount Ra & DEC directions at what ever rate had been set. It plugs into the top left “Hand Control” port via a 6 pin RJ

Smidsy thst feature port is not an Ethernet port its a specula CB port wired IAW Gemini Manual lvl 4 page 129. ( https://gemini-2.com/downloads/pdf/GeminiL4UserManual.pdf ) It just uses an RJ45 but is

Hi Smidsy, Gemini-1 didn't have support for Ethernet. RS232/Serial is the main interface mechanism. The Feature port, with some additional hardware, could be used as an extra serial port, but not for

Hi all, can I use the feature ethernet socket to control the mount from a laptop or do I have to use the smaller RS232 socket ? Thanks

Hi all, just been lucky enough to buy a G11 Gemini 1 level 4 mount, obviously have the main hand set, it also came with a simple 4 directional button hand controller but without a cable, please can

Well, you can add thickness to your plywood pads to help stiffen them. Even with an observatory, there is the labor of love with Modeling (Alignment). I'm a backyarder, and use a Light Pollution

You are most Welcome Michael! The antics of Team Viewer got to be a royal PITA for me. Mine would drop out a lot! So I went hunting and found Tight Vnc. It just works. I think it works as well as a

You guys are right about the plywood pads. They aren’t ideal, but they do keep the legs from sinking into the ground with my big scope and three 22 pound counterweights. I am learning to find my way

Brian, The focal length of my C14 is 3910mm. A .7 reducer brings it down to a mere 2700mm, which is about the same as a C11 without a reducer. I have had some success autoguiding while using a C14

HI Jeff that's a great report - Small problems like that Regarding autoguiding, the 14" is a really challenging scope. what is the focal length again? I know a handful of 14" owners and they have only

These were my thoughts as well. Interestingly, last evening I remounted the original stepping motors and found they operate just fine. High torque maybe? The connector on the RA motor is electrically

TeamViewer is nice for remote support ... but when both devices are on the same local network, VNC is much better.

Thanks for the pointer to TightVNC, Sonny. I'll have to try that out! I also am tired of the ads from TeamViewer, and worse it dropping off at around midnight requiring a new login from both

I would concur with Paul's advice. After a few years... I would expect things to have taken a set and have become stuck or sticky. If you are not mechanically inclined, it might be best to seek help

In addition to Michael's advice about ground vibrations, and flex of wooden pads, I've always used pavers when going remote. In fact, I have 3 in the basement of our RV where I normally carry my

Hi Jeff, Wow...your experience with that longitude - sign triggers a few other things to watch for: Yes....the East/West longitude entry is confusing. The unit boots up and describes E or W longitude.
