Hi, I got the mount setup to work out the weight and balance, as well as cabling and other issues. Here is a photo of the complete setup. No real tests yet, to many clouds at night to allow anything at all. sad

What kind of scope is that, Floyd? I don't recognize it.

Floyd,

To my surprise a MI250. Larry is impossible to resist. Have you posted likes and surprises with the new mount? Please feel free to send me information direct. I am looking forward to seeing the tracking data at any focal length.

So, what pushed you over the edge? Did you just move your Gemini, already set to Mi250, from the Losmandy to the Gemini? Thanks for all the Losmandy Support!
