Anybody using any Gemini GoTo system and autoguiders like the ST-4, STV, etc. for film imaging?
This could be the Gemini on the G-11, Titan, Mountain Instruments or Parallax, etc.
A friend of mine has a brand new (latest version) Gemini installed on a G-11 but it will not, either calibrate or track properly with an ST-4 or the STV. It will usually calibrate and track in RA but DEC is inconsistent.
All possible variations of the ST-4 C and H settings have been tried, along with variations in the TVC settings in the Gemini.
The maximum Guide rate for DEC in the Gemini is 0.8x the Sideral rate and it appears this is to slow to move the guide star an appropriate amount.
Any input?
Thanks,
Kent Kirkley
