I am trying to get my Gemini handpaddle to slew at exactly 2x sidereal. That is, when I press the “east” button, the drive should move at 2x (stars drift east at 1x sidereal) and when I press the “west” button, the drives should stop completely (stars drift west at 1x sidereal).
I have yet to figure out which speed set (guide or slew) I should use, and what the speed should be set to in order to achieve this.
