G11 Gemini 1 problem with Stellarium / Sky Safari
|
I have no trouble with this system for Stellarium : Download the separate program Stellarium-scope from Dragon-Welch computing.? See what version of Stellarium that will support. Download that version of Stellarium. ?? Download the latest Ascom and Gemini.net. You then start by connecting your serial port cable to the Gemini1, and booting up the Gemini1, and doing a 1 star alignment (or no alignment. ..leave it as a cold boot). Then start Stellarium-scope. ? Select Gemini.net.? Press configure to get that first.? It will boot up Gemini.net and should automatically find the Gemini1. ? In Gemini.net, press the Advanced link to open that window.? Look for the checkbox upper right corner for "Synch performs additional Align".? If you check that box, each time you press CTL-3 on Stellarium, it will tell Gemini1 to add an Alignment point.? That is good for building an initial T-model.? If you in check that, then Stellarium CTL-3 will tell Gemini1 to just Synch (not add an aliment point) and not change the Gemini1 model.? You may want to check that box now if you did a Cold boot, or leave it unchecked if you have a good Gemini1 model already done and don't want to modify that. ? Once that is done, go back to Stellarium-scope and press the button to start Stellarium.? That will boot Stellarium. At this time you can minimize Stellarium-scope ?(don't close it...just minimize it) On Stellarium, be sure your geographic location is correct.? It defaults to Paris! You will not need or use the direct scope connection in Stellarium. ? On Stellarium you should now see the icon circle for Scope at Polaris.? You can now clickn on a target object or star, and press CTL-1 to issue a goto.? Once you use the handbox to center the object, back on Stellarium, press CTL-3 to Synch (or add an alignment point if that checkbox is checked!) Have fun...experiment.
