Is it possible to connect SBIG ST-8XE? directly to outside port of the box? Gemini 1 throuht a cable din 4 pin or 5 pin? The inside power of the camera has 5 pins, the outside port of the Gemini has

Re: simple servo motor control
JoAnn, Hi. There is a nice video on using Arduino to control a dc motor+encoder. Since you don't need acceleration and position control all you need is to control speed that makes it pretty simple to

Re: Restarting Gemini2
Hi Ron. I think you have the concepts. Another useful thing is: you can work on testing this in the daytime. Keep your scope and finder scopes optics fronts covered up so the sunlight won't overheat

I am getting reliable meridian flips with my Titan and Gemini 2.? I use Maxim DL, but with ACP.? ACP is controlling the flip in my case.? I have never tried imaging with Maxim stand alone, so can't

Re: Restarting Gemini2
Hi Ron For DSO targets like you showed (and wow, that is a demanding focal length) it would be easier than that: - cold start from CWD each night - press "start sequence" from SGP - go to bed :) i

Hi Ron Yes, unless (or until?) you move to more sophisticated DSO type software (think sequence generator pro, NINA, etc.) plate solve probably won't help you with your gotos Are you tearing down and

Re: Restarting Gemini2
Hi Ron, Of your options, #1 will surely work...but not what you want ideally. Your #2 option is wrong...here's how you should be doing that: Do start at CWD from Cold Bout and align, build your model

Hi Ron Can you describe your imaging setup? The easiest to do is cold start and plate solve every night. It depends on your setup. [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Restarting Gemini2
Hi Arun,! In the Gemini-1, a Cold Boot erases the entire set of Model parameters. Gemini.net shows all zeroes on the Advanced panel. The Genini-1 assumed the mount is polar aligned. Then you do a

Re: Restarting Gemini2
Michael - To the point about Cold Boot (which I assume means no pre existing model) - does it matter whether the CWD position is dead on or not? In theory, assuming that the mount is accurately polar

Re: Restarting Gemini2
Ok. Good to know. If you did a Cold Boot then ...it seems the -1 and -2 must be different in operation from a cold boot. That means the G-2 believes the CWD position was dead on, whereas the G-1 does

Re: Restarting Gemini2
Hi Brian, Look at the Model settings in Gemini.net, using the Advanced panel Model area. You will find they remain all zero value after the first Align to Bright star is done. Therefore it is a Synch.
