Re: [APML] APML Gemini GoTo and Autoguiders???
Hey Kent,
I am using an ST-4 on a new G-11 with Gemini Level 3. I have had no
problems with it. It has been suggested (on the Losmandy group) to use
a higher guide speed (0.8) while calibrating, and slower while tracking
(0.5). I generally follow this procedure, although I vary the speeds a
little. My unit came complete and was not an upgrade where I installed
Gemini on an existing G-11. Yeah, the two work great together.
