I'll follow up on your recommendations at the Gemini Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:04:58 GMT Keith http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4827 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4827 Jon, yes I would absolutely build a good model first in the Gemini before syncing to TS6. It really does improve pointing accuracy. The manual explains the Sun, 01 Nov 2009 23:01:06 GMT jamc2004 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4826 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4826 Hello Keith: Thanks,you answered my poorly stated question. So it is best to build the pointing model in Gemini with as many additional alignments as necessary Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:26:07 GMT Keith http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4825 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4825 Not quite sure just what you're asking. There are differences between syncs and additional aligments in the Gemini. Syncs simply move the existing model to a Sun, 01 Nov 2009 15:25:10 GMT jamc2004 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4824 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4824 Hello: I just set up TheSky6 to slew the mount and everything is groovy... are 3-4 star alignments with the Gemini DLX beneficial before establishing the link Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:49:44 GMT Keith http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4823 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4823 Hi James, too bad you don't have the 'before' PemPro data but quantification of the upgraded mount is nice to have. At least it sets a baseline for you.

I just got my mount back from Larry at the weekend and I'll happily post results from PEMPro Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:22:58 GMT Keith http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4821 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4821 Thanks for the reply, Paul. So far you and only one other person who has had the upgrade done has replied. No one but me it seems has the baseline PemPro data Mon, 26 Oct 2009 06:37:42 GMT Paul Romero http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4820 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4820 Hi Keith, I was going to get back to you, as my MI-250 had recently undergone a refurb. However, with school and studying, I wasn't able to check the Pempro Tue, 20 Oct 2009 21:56:00 GMT Keith http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4819 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4819 Has anyone seen or measured any improvements in the mounts performance as measured by PemPro? I was wondering what is the outcome of the replacement of the Mon, 19 Oct 2009 23:50:55 GMT mountaininstruments http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4818 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mi-250/message/4818 Hi All This is a just a heads up for any of you thinking about a retro fit. Although the winter months are pretty well booked up, I have a few openings now.
