Re: G11 Dec Axis, How Tight to Do Up Clutch Knob
The lowest clutch pressure without slippage is the best setting but this only works well if the mount is reasonably well balanced. There is noting in the mechanical design that would cause more or

Re: G11G First Night - Not So Good
Rick at what point in this guidelog did you have PEC on?
did you do it at the start and maybe disable/reenable?
Also pls check your TVC value = 0 on hand controller

I seem to remember a post at least a year ago that detailed bearings that were not pressed in co-linear with the flat surface so that tightening the clutch plate put uneven pressure on the

Re: G11 Dec Axis, How Tight to Do Up Clutch Knob
Dear fellows,
I have read many similar reports over the past few years, about worm to
ring gear tightness being affected by clutch knob tightness.
Strictly speaking, from the design itself, if all

Re: G11G First Night - Not So Good
Here is the log.
For PEC I used the functions in the ASCOM driver.
As for PEMPro I was hoping to avoid spending another $150 , but mostly having to learn yet 1 more piece of software.

Hi Rick
if you'd like some constructive feedback, i'd really need to see the actual
guidelogs themselves
it should show a good calibration, a guiding assistant run, and at least 15

Re: Star GPS NX / G-11 Gemini
If anyone is interested in a working Star Gps system, I have one for sale. I am also selling it with the later adapter to use it with the gemini 2 if you ever want to upgrade!

Re: G11G First Night - Not So Good
Here is the same data with the PHD2 Viewer.
I found there is a lot of drag on the spur gears from the motors and you can not feel the point at which the worm releases and yet still no backlash. The

Re: G11G First Night - Not So Good
Hi Rick
I'm a little confused about what you have here - are you measuring periodic
error correction while guiding?
if you are not doing PE correction, then the PEMPro log viewer is not a

Re: G11 Dec Axis, How Tight to Do Up Clutch Knob
Thanks for bringing this up.? The worm gear pressure depends on the tightening of the worm gear (assuming no spring loaded ones) but also on the tightening of the clutch knob.? I finally figured out

Hi John,
I¡¯ve never used a Star GPS, but if a weak Gemini battery would cause a ¡°GPS Timed Out¡± message, it may be good to replace the battery and reset all the parameters.

Re: Balancing RA
Hi Richard,
I'm curious: what is the kind of scope loaded on your G11T?
Can you estimate the total scope load weight on your dovetail?
I don't have a GT11 (yet) though I certainly have scopes heavy

Hi Richard,
The extra photos explain your design...the bolts in front push on metal
plates, and lift the upper front wood piece, which is attached to the wire
