Yeah, and distance is also a factor when it comes to sizing DC wiring. I just use the following tool to keep myself straight:

Re: Mach2GTO Anderson Powerpole passthrough current rating

Erm. I have to ask, based on your questions, just what is it that you have in mind?
Any typical single- or dual-imager setup riding on top of the mount should not pull anything near 15A @ 12V DC

My G11 + Gemini-II happens to be set up inside my house right now and I don't see a manual meridian flip button or command in the menu tree. I guess it's time to triple-check it and find what I have

Re: Mach2GTO Anderson Powerpole passthrough current rating
#Mach2GTO
It is a straight-through run that is fully isolated from the mount frame, as it should be. It has no internal fusing. That wouldn't be a bad thing to add. My memory is a bit faded but IIRC, it is 14

Re: Meridian Flip Feature Yet?
Good grief.
I have all of the following non-AP GOTO GEM mounts and NOT ONE of them has a "pier flip" button or menu command in the hand controller.
Rainbow Astro RST-135 + Hubo-i SE
Losmandy G11 +

If you are connecting SkyX through the AP V2 ASCOM driver on Windows then you would not need to disconnect/reconnect anything.

Re: Meridian Flip Feature Yet?
The meridian's position doesn't change. It is the reference line across the sky from due North to due South.
Maybe you meant "meridian delay"?
Let me ask you this -- what if you could eliminate the

Re: Meridian Flip Feature Yet?
Hi Ray,
Let's use your "other manufacturer" pier flip button as an example:
1. Say the mount is at (RA_1, Dec_1) - whatever coordinates those happen to be.
2. You click the "Pier Flip" and the mount

How much current can I draw through the Anderson Powerpole passthrough on the Mach2GTO?
Or alternatively, what is the AWG & length of the internal wiring, and are the Powerpole connectors 15, 30 or

Re: Precise polar alignment of the azimuth axis
10 min. unguided at 2800mm FL is pretty darn good! Before I used SharpCap's method, I tried various manual drift techniques and only occasionally got it that good. (C11??) Now I understand that

The script I would write would only run on Windows. It would probably be in VbScript.
(BTW, Telnet is not a scripting language, so it would not work by itself).
