Re: G11 Dec Axis, How Tight to Do Up Clutch Knob
|
Well it was once in 14 months for an hour with 2000ms backlash comp and I can¡¯t do it again. I think I know what to try next.
?
Just thought now re RA axis on the G11GT. So if the answer on Dec is ¡°the looser the better, but not loose enough to slip¡± ¨C what about the RA ??
?
Tight as possible or same answer as for Dec ??
?
Thanks

Boy 0.46" guiding isn't anything to sneeze at, nice job
I'm not sure where you are on guiding, but if you wanted a complete review, i'm over at the PHD forums helping out and often recommend establishing a baseline guiding?
I have recently gotten my G11T back, and if I recall correctly, i did something like PEC for just the primary PE and then focused my PPEC guiding algorithm on one of the shorter periods (i want to say 41 seconds? something like that) which
seemed to be pretty effective
?
Thanks Brian and congratulations on your new role.

My struggles continue, completely frustrated and its now almost a year and a half. Every night it¡¯s a different result and pretty much never a good one.
?
Attached is a couple of nights ago, best I¡¯ve ever achieved, it lasted a hour or so and then deteriorated ¨C and this was from the backyard. Also had a fresh PempPro PEC in place.
?
Next night, couldn¡¯t do it again.
?
Anyway, the point of interest is to achieved this, PHD backlash compensation was on and at 2000 ms.

Hi Richard
in my experience, the looser the better, but not loose enough to slip.?
Good axis balancing really helps here?

Hi All
I have a G11GT. If I screw up the Dec clutch knob to be tight, basically the worm crown wheel will no longer turn, all jammed up. From "tight" I turn the clutch knob back by a third to half a turn to free up the worm crown gear.
At this point I find the clutch to be susceptible to slip, already have neoprene infused cork clutch pad in there.
Is this correct / normal ???
Much appreciated, regard Richard
