I had a Gemini on a G8, got through 4 motors and one mother board. I Know the author Rene Goerlich and the software as such is first class, but the implimentation is a different story. On the G11 with 360 tooth pinion the servos are not subjected to the same stress as on the 180 thhth G8 pinion. Balance is critical as also the removal of all tight spots on thetwp worms, a tedious task which I have done a few times. As accurate but far
more reliable is the FS2 which does all the "goto" that the gemini does.
Argo Nevis is probably the simplest solution as one can stay with the
original stepper motors, pay significantly less and have the reliability of the steppers. If I were ever to try a Losmandy again it would be a toss-
up between FS2 and Argo Nevis- my pennth' (a fraction of what the G8
cost to maintain with Genimi)
