Re: G11 guide speed


Sonny Edmonds
 

Mine is 20 years newer.
I can't reference it at the moment as it is set up ready for the evening.
But I do know the guiding rate is 0.5.
Can't swear to the guide rate, but I think it is 2.0.
Then the Slew rates are ~400 and ~800.

I have had no reasons, not even curiosities, about changing any of them.

If it works, don't fix it.

Ok, I got curious. Mind you my mount was "born" on February 4, 2020; and it is a GM811G model. So for what it's worth....

Manual slewing speed: 800
GoTo slewing speed: 800
Centering speed: 20
Guideing speed x10: 5
Move speed: 100

I have no idea how these figures compare to your mount. I just threw them out here for you to think about.
I do know my new mount has attracted clouds like crazy! We are over an inch over "normal" rainfall.
And if not for everybody being grounded for the Corney Virus, I might be lynched by now.
Like I said, it is set up right now, and sure as dog doo attracts flies, it brought up a bunch of clouds.
So I'm sitting here in the house, remote connected, watching clouds in my guide scope. I can't even get mad anymore.


It does do my heart good to hear of the earlier mounts still working right along.
Gives me confidence I made the best choice possible.
