Re: Polemaster on Losmandy's
|
Donnie,
I have a Polemaster on my G11G. The PC software is very intuitive, and it really dials you in to a good PA.? As for adding it, you can buy an adapter for various Losmandys. However, ADM has a bracket that affixes directly to your dovetail (??). The PM software is smart enough that it doesn't require affixing to the PA port on your mount. By getting the ADM bracket, you can use the PM on any mount with which you have room to clamp onto the dovetail. I've used mine on a CGE Pro, G11G, AVX, and a CG-4 (with my cell phone).
I highly recommend the tool.

There are plenty of Losmandy youtube videos on using the Gemini, and we're adding them all the time (it's one of the main focuses of our video creation right now)
I have the polemaster on my G11, and switch it between G11 and my G11T. it's very easy to use and fits in great on the DEC axis
if there any other questions, lots of people here can help, and you can always email me directly techsupport at losmandy dot com

I have not purchased a mount yet. To be honest, I just can not make up my mind about buying the G11G.? Something about it I have reservations about, but I really can't truly identify what it is that is keeping me at bay with this.? I read some of the user manuals, and it seems the mount is really made for more advanced users. Not much detail in the instructions or maybe there is more setup material that comes with it.? Usually, there is printed material on how to use the hand controller. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place on Losmandy's site, but I have not found any manual on how to use the hand controller - I will look again - it is probably staring me in the face, but just did not see it right off the bat. I am sure that I will be embarrassed if I do find it after writing this post.? I do know he has videos on how to use his hand controller and I did view some of those. But sometimes I just like sitting down with something I can hold in my hand and read.
I have about 4 years of experience with a Celestron CGEM mount and I even performed a hyper-tune on it myself. So, I consider myself fairly mechanical minded. Just last week I also Modified my Canon Rebel 600D myself and removed all the filters and made it a full spectrum. The hand controller is not like anything I have ever seen before.?
I am not sure if anyone is familiar with the Skywatcher EQ6-R, but now, I am at a toss-up between that or the G11G.?
