Jim, I believe if the Gemini control box has the round DIN connectors for the RA and DEC then you do not need a relay box. You could give Larry a call and...

Thanks Don, but this is a non Gemini mount with Digital Setting Circles (DSCs). This information is difficult to find, hence the question on this group. I am...
Hi Jim, I think Wade had a non-goto mount for some time, and I know Fred has one. Any of you guys know if the ST2000 requires a relay box? Dean ... From:...
Hi, Sorry, I doubt if I can help much with this one. Both mine have been Gemini GoTo versions. As Don Waid said earlier, the relay box is only needed with...
Hi Wade, for some reason I thought you had a non-goto. I know Fred has one since I saw it at TSP. The old non-goto does have an autoguider port. This scope...
... Hi Jim--I have exactly your configuration, although my mount is older. I called Larry several years ago, and he advised me to use a relay box. For the $40...
Hi Dean, Thanks for clarifying. I'm out of my league on the non-GoTo configurations, so I'll leave that to others. Thanks, Wade ... has one ... be a ... a cam...
I have a non-goto MI-250 but not an ST2000. I have been able to hook up a laptop to the guider port using the Shoestring Astronomy GPINT-PT. Apparently this...
Could one of the moderators do something about this member and his settings, or remove him? Perhaps change his settings to no e-mail. I seem to get this...
The reply I got from SBIG's David Morrow is as follows: Hi Jim, The ST series of cameras use open collector transistors for control of the telescope mount. The...

I have a non goto G11 and it does not require a relay box when using the StarlightXpress cameras like the SXV M8C or SXV H9 or Mx716. The real question here is...
Group, I decided to give the PemPro trial version a go earlier this week. The install was smooth and I was able to connect to the mount and CCDSoft to...
Hi Gary, I did the exact thing with mine a couple times before I figured it out. Check your settings in the ASCOM drivers as they are not right and it will ...
Sounds like we've pretty well beat this topic to death. Based on the earlier quote from SBIG, the ST cameras drive the mount using open collector transistors....
Hi guys, It might be a good idea to also inquire over on the Gemini user group of Ajai Sehgal (Gemini ASCOM developer), and the PEMPro support forum (Ray...
FWIW, I would like to add a couple of suggestions to this thread that are related to mount adjustment and NOT PemPro: *Never lock down the RA or DEC clutches...
Today, at last, I join your ranks. UPS will be here today with my new MI-250, yippee!!! Matt Taylor APO Obs Claremore, Okla. [Non-text portions of this message...
Congratulations Matt! I think you'll be very pleased with your mount. I think you'll like the new features of Gemini Level 4 very much also. Have fun! Wade...
Very cool, Matt! So, it's the day after... did it arrive? Are you overwhelmed by its mass and stature? Give us the details! What will you be putting it on and,...
Thanks to all who have congratulated me thus far on the new mount! Well, what can I say.... I feel very privileged to have such a fine piece of art sitting...
Matt, The "not over my dead body" story sounds very familiar. My "classic" 10 LX200 is still here(because of above) but now back on it's own tripod after I...
Another option is to sell it complete, and buy a new LX200R OTA ? I'm not sure what kind of money you can get for just the forks and tripod. I was going to...
Overall I would say I had a good first outting with the new MI250 but I did run into a few things...... I mounted the MI250 on my pier, removed the 12" LX200...
