Hi Bob,
I think the Losmandy Gemini very similar to the lx 200 so I think the
procedure is the same.
Nevertheless I still have a couple of questions: first explain me more
about "Then move your cursor to the location you want and move the
scope again that small distance." I do not understand. Second: The use
of "Add alignment star" button for this purpose, as far as you know,
is written somewhare?
Cheers, Stefano
