Temma Version

Hi all,

Does the Temma 2 that is offered with the Takahashi range of mounts have different versions. Using the Losmandy Gemini as an example, the Gemini is now up to Version (Level) 4. Does Takahashi do software up dates with Temma? What was changed in the transition from Temma 1 to Temma 2 and how to you tell if a mount on offer is at Temma 1 or Temma 2 other than take the sellers word for it.

Really sorry if this is a stupid obvious question.

Thanks.

If you have a Temma-2 mount, it is written on the side of the mount. The Temma-2 can be operated with the Sky or Takahashi's Pegasus software. There is also an ASCOM driver that will allow a park function. This driver is free.

The Temma-2 among other things has a feature where the mount passes the object and backs up to it to take the play out of the gears.

If you will go to www.takahashijapan.com you can find a writ-up in English that explains all the technical advances that the Temma-2 has that the original Temma PC did not have.
