The top groove is for Losmandy-sized dovetail plates. The bottom groove is for Vixen-sized dovetail plates. Your GEM28's original saddle only supported vixen dovetail plates, which meant that there was no way for it to fit the Losmandy-sized plate which you use on the Stellarvue scope. Nice scope, btw, with the risers.
Joey, always great, easy to digest info. My GEM 28 just arrived! I cant tell from your rig, are you bypassing the hand controller with your ASIAir set up? If so how? Thanks.
Glad it's easy to digest. And yes I am bypassing the controller USB cable. Need to write it up on my site but basically you configure the AAP station mode and connect it to the mount WiFi. You can get the IP and port number for the AAP mount settings from the hand controller. I'll try and get this written up some time soon with screen shots.
@@dfinchermd depends on the video I was recording 😂 lately it's been Kentucky Bourbons started my first Infinity ♾️ bottle and doing all Kentucky Bourbons right now.
Love ADM saddles. I order them for every mount I have owned.
ADM makes the best products for sure!
man, you're really increasing the momentum arm on that scope with those risers
It's what Stellarvue sent me so it's what I got. However my guiding normally stays around .80 or lower so it's not all bad. The mount can handle it.
thank you for the ADM info....good stuff
