Rich,
That sounds odd to me. When I got my updated G11 to a G11G and tested it I cranked the clutches down as usual and saw no measured changes in tracking error. I have always cranked the clutches down pretty firmly for Gemini use and imaging with very good results. Maybe I should try retesting with the clutches set looser than normal to see if the PE improves though it seems unlikely as my PE is already low when unguided and guided my G11G is 034-0.41 arcsecond range which seems good enough.?I also have tested the current draw using a precision bench power supply and there is zero difference in current draw duty cycle and lag rates when cranked down super tight and loose enough to use in PUSH-TO mode. This is on a Losmandy G11 Scott had retrofitted as fully optioned G11G spec mount with w/Gemini 2-mini and high torque servo motors.?
