I don't have a permanent pier or an observatory. I have to carry my stuff all the time. So those nice pelican cases are not good for my back. I got an RA extender and have the mount split into two

Spring loading is especially useful for taking up backlash when the axis changes direction during guiding. RA doesn't experience backlash during guiding since it doesn't reverse direction: it slows

Pelican 1650 case.

I realize the Dec Axis on the G11T has the spring-loaded worm gear, it actually is the same Dec Axis as the G11, but the RA Axis has no spring-loaded worm gear and I wonder why?

Thanks everyone. David - what case have you shown here (brand/model)? Looks like it fits everything perfectly!

They produce consistent mesh pressure from the worm.? It is commonly said that as weather changes that mesh needs to be adjusted for best tracking.? But if it is spring loaded then the adjustment is

John, pretty sure you've used Ethernet, it's so ubiquitous that you simply weren't aware of it. Most networks in commercial settings have used it for decades. Per the Wiki: Ethernet is a family of

Which case is that? Pelli 1610?

Everything but the tripod.

Those cases look fantastic, nice job.

If you’re up to building your own I would suggest looking at Harbor Freight. ?For under $200 I put together a system that works fine for hauling the mount around to dark sites. (Not robust enough

I made my own road cases using the same Losmandy hardware so that i can separate the head and clamp halves to the case walls. I now transport RA half with 8” pier extension permanently

The decreasing incremental torque for increased microsteps in itself is not an argument for lowering the number of microsteps.? For instance, you can drive the motor with 64 microsteps at 107 Hz or

Hi John, I’m a bit late to the party but here’s my 2 cents. Stellarium works very nicely with the Gemini via USB. You just need to configure the mount control plugin in Stellarium, install your

The concept is great with the bases to attach the 2 parts to, but I was expecting them to be made of wood and aluminum like typical road cases. The corner plastic parts were already splitting out of

Delany told me I bought the last pair of cases they had. I don't know why they discontinued them - I use them for car trips which we frequently do in the summer months when it gets too hot to image in

I use the two cases that Losmandy makes/made. They their bases have plates where the two axis attach securely. Their covers are somewhat flimsy, but the important bits use metal clamps. I don't see

Hi John, if you've not seen this yet, there's a whole website dedicated to Gemini that could help answer a lot of your questions, including detailed guides, FAQs, screen shots, photos,
