Hi group, I have a circa 2004 MI-250 with the newer style Din connectors for the Gemini ra and dec motors. My dec cable is a straight Din cable and hits the...
Hi All, Last night I mounted the Orion 100ED and the Orion 80ED on the pier mounted MI-250, the 80ED had the Meade DSI Pro II w/ CS HA filter, the 100ED had...
Hey Matt - looks like you and the MI-250 are getting along very well indeed. This weekend was first light for mine and I was able to get a 15 minute drift...
Beautiful shots, Matt! First class work there. Cheers, Wade ... pier mounted MI-250, the 80ED had the Meade DSI Pro II w/ CS HA filter, the 100ED had the SBIG...
Thanks Ron! Looks like we're following the same path, what a GREAT mount eh? I kept running out to the observatory, at first about every 30 minutes (left over...
Thanks Wade! Well I dunno about 1st class, but thanks so saying so. Now that I don't have to worry about the tracking, guiding, tiny wind gusts, and so on...
Great work, Matt. I especially like the ST2K image. Have you checked out Ron's "Zone" book yet? It has some great information for processing the 4 areas of an...
Thanks Danny! I've not read the zone book yet, but I do plan to do so. Currently I'm still learning a lot from Don Waid's excellent image processing tutorial...
Some nice images Matt, considering you just started to use a 'good' mount recently :) The title of this post really caught my eye as I did a 'double' horsehead...
Thanks Dean! Hey I like your image, reminds me of Dr. Dolittle's "PushMe-PullYou". I bet it's been 35 years or so since I saw that movie, amazing what a photo...

Hi Keith, Thanks for the heads up - I'll check it out some time this week. I suppose I have to "re-drift" if an adjustment is required. In terms of which way...

Hi Keith – thanks for the clarification, I didn't know if the reticle was in a cell moved by threaded screws or not. One other question regarding the...
Hi All, A few FNG questions if you don't mind. I've noticed that the DEC motor cable comes very close to hitting the mount when the scope is on the East side,...
Hi Matt - Keith Meyers (a fellow MI-250 owner) makes a replacement set of right angle cables for Gemini/MI-250. He cruises this forum and I'm sure he'll be...
Matt, I hope I can help a little... :) First, the 92* and 95* numbers represent angles on either side of the meridian. So, your actual distance from limit to...
Thanks Ron & Matt for the info! Matt ... From: Matt Thomas To: mi-250@yahoogroups.com Sent: 10/4/2006 7:07:57 PM Subject: Re: [mi250] Slew Limits/Meridian...
I'm real close to first light on a roll-off roof observatory and it's been about a year since I last had the equipment in use. Since then I've been monitoring...
PEC did not work in L3, or at least it didn't work very well. The installation is straight forward, and the new features are easy to learn. An the cost is...
Hi Gary, If you want to try out PEMPro for actual PE control of the mount and not just analysis of its existing PE, Level 4 Gemini is pretty much mandatory....
Hi Wade, My MI-250 was shipped with level 4v1.01, were there any major differences that would cause me to want to upgrade to 1.02? I looked at the pages below...
Wade, never mind about the 1.02 version, I found the details. Still need the focus controller!! Matt ... that would cause me to want to upgrade to 1.02? I...
