tonight i had my scope out and i managed to get my mount polar aligned because saturn stayed in the FOV for over an hour with only a small amount of drift. Im still trying to get the GOTO in the gemini 2 to work. I am using the gemini ascom program to go the alignments. I enter in the co ordinates of the star then i press goto on the program. The scope goes near the star but i always have to make adjustments to center the star. Once the Star is in the FOV i press Sync on the first star.Next i choose another star and do the same process except this time i press Align1 button.I am using alignmaster for the best 2 stars.
Can anyone give me the correct procedure in doing the star alignment please? I am only guessing on how to do this. Any tips would be great as i really want the goto working so i can find alot of objects to view.
Mark, if your polar alignment is spot on then the G11 will slew to any object and you only have to do a one star alignment.
When i start up my mount and slew to a star or object, it will be in the middle or near the middle of my imager.
I am using the sync function in TheSky6 and nothing else.
Yep Mark it will if you are pretty well aligned to the SCP, that is all i ever used when i was imaging, you don't need to set up a alignment model, as some do.
