To The OP, Adrian and an update for others.
You Gemini lives again new motor encoder IC put in, RA now alive and all other faults fixed. It's been in test for last 1.5 days and all is good. Now mounted running my Gemini for more testing.
I'd like to publicly thank
Dr René Gorlich for helping me on this. He is a generous person always willing to help Gemini users. A star of the Gemini world in my eyes! A star in my eyes...I made an Astro funny....stand-up comic ....I ain't!
All this was fixed for free for the
Mapelton Community Observatory as a gesture of goodwill from the IIS community, myself and René.
All looking good Adrian. I'll test for 2 more days then it'll be in the post.
Brendan
