Re: [APML] Losmandy G-11w/Gemini

Dan,

I have recently reviewed the Gemini GOTO comments on the Losmandy Yahoo
group. I gathered that most are happy with it.  Users reporting problems
have also reported problems with other GOTO's, such as the Sky Sensor,
so some tinkering may inherent. One user summarized by saying most of
the Gemini problems involve proper worm gear adjustment.

Also bear in mind that user groups often focus on resolving problems, so
you tend to hear more about the negatives.
