Hi Tom, I have a suggestion for a product and was wondering if you might be able to provide such an item... right-angle DIN cables! It would be great if I...
I purchased some right angle din plugs, and replaced one end of the standand long cable that Losmandy sells. I cannot even purchase the cable and din plugs...

Hey All, I too would buy right angle cables if they were available. I would love to include them with our mounts. Larry ... From: mi-250@yahoogroups.com...
I have been trying to get an accurate polar alignment with my PierTech3 mounted MI-250 for about 5 days. I have gone through the initial synch and polar align...
I have never used the PAC feature myself. I have always used the drift method. I drift align until I have no apparent drift for at least 5 minutes. One night I...
Dean, Thanks for that suggestion. It seems that a lot of people are suggesting drift alignment rather than the Gemini routines. The Gemini manual didn’t ...

... Hi Danny, I built myself a set of right angle cables for my Gemini and MI-250. I was entirely too unhappy with the 180 degree bend the DEC cable made when...
Todd, Thanks for the response. My mount is brand new from Larry so I don't think it is the battery. It is good to know that I should be able to get 5 minute ...
Hi Keith, I would be happy to pay for some parts and your time to get a set myself. I have a test set of cables with right angle connectors but they are not ...
Hi Danny I think that we were saying the same thing in different ways, what I meant was that when right angle cables are plugged into the controller (not...
The weather has finally cooled off a bit here so I was able to get the camera down to a decent -16°C last night. I decided to try the Cocoon in Ha using my...
... Hi Thomas, yes I guess semantics. I could easily terminate with straight plugs at the controller. Though I like the fact the right-angles lay down and...

Hi All, As I get closer to the end of my 3 months of tourturous wait for my new MI-250 to arrive you guys go and post some awesome photos to make it that much...
Tom, Just wanted to clear up that the last post was from Keith, not me. Maybe you, Keith, Larry, and Scott can get together and have a pow- wow over this......
Larry has been trying to get Scott to make right angle cables for years. He don't want to because the Gemini position the motors so that straight cable are...
Hi Matt, At 354mm f/l I can go unguided 10 minutes, at 528mm I need to guide at much over2-3 minutes, anthing longer than this and you must guide. I can get ...
Hey Matt, I'm right there with you in spirit. It's a wonderful day when it arrives! Take the "5-minute unguided exposure" comments with a grain of salt. It all...

... Dean, my MI-250 came in at around 4 arc-second P-P native too. I would suggest getting PemPro and doing a run to develop a good PE correction curve....
I am having problems getting the PEC to actually work with my mount. Either it is worse, or no better at all. Yes, I am on L4.02 When I run it to get a...
Hi Dean, Just a few suggestions come to mind. You may already be doing this. If so, I'm out of ideas. Uncorrected PE of 1.4 arc-sec is very low for this...
