RE: [APML] APML Gemini GoTo and Autoguiders???
Kent,
I have the MI250 and the STV calibrates and
tracks. The only problem I am having looks like it may be
oscillation. Before I got the MI250, I used the G11 for a short time with
the STV. I am no expert with autoguiders, I use the auto functions
on the STV, and the G11 was my first mount.. But I do remember that I had
calibration problems with the G11. I had the standard non Gemini version
so I could increase the guide rate. I increased the guide rate and the STV
would then calibrate and track. I
know this doesn't solve your problem, but my experience supports your
theory.

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
