I contacted Losmandy but they weren't able to provide much help beyond check for dragging cables.? I admit, the photos I sent do show a bit of a cable mess but I am sure that is not the problem.? The scope had not been used when I bought it, it was part of an estate sale (RIP) and didn't have any nicks, scratches or blemishes.? Initially, I wrote to this forum because I was having problems with the flips.? That was frustrating but was my fault, not the mount.? The help I received here fixed my problem.? ?But, because the scope I bought this mount for (TS Optics Photoline 130) is kind of long, I had to wait for the meridian flip to keep the scope from crashing into the mount.? The extensions fixed that problem.? That said, there are still several buggy aspects of the mount/asiair combination.

?

I am still a beginner.? I started with a Skywatcher EQ6 R a couple of years ago so the Skywatcher is the only thing I have to compare to.? For example, If I start a plan or auto run, the asiair will issue a goto to the mount and the mount may or may not move.? The screen will indicate slewing but the mount just sits there.? Other times the mount will move and get stuck in auto-centering on the target.? It may indicate that the target is centered but more often than not, I have to move it back to CWD shut everything off and restart it.? ? Sometimes the mount/asiair has no idea where it is and all of a sudden forgets where CWD is.? Meridian flips require at least three commands from the asiair before the mount will move.? My guess is the losmandy software and the asiair software do not communicate well because the Skywatcher has none of these problems.? In my experience it operates flawlessly.? And yes, all the software is up to date. It has been cold recently but the RA guiding was bad in the warm weather.? I understand that the G11 is in a different class than the eq6.??

?

One thing from the comment Derek made, if I grab the CW shaft it will move side to side slightly.? Not at the connection of the shaft to the mount but near the?

RA extension.? It is not much. It feels like slop in the gears. But again it is not much but it is noticeable.? ?Derek, yes, I added a 12 pier extension and RA extension at the same time.? Initially I thought something was loose and that maybe I forgot to tighten a screw. I went through it and made sure everything was tight.? I did not find any loose screws.??

?

The mount still does a good job.? I had to toss a few subs for sure but here is 33 hours with the G11: ?[URL=https://astrob.in/n0hff5/0/][IMG]https://astrob.in/n0hff5/0/rawthumb/gallery/get.jpg?insecure[/IMG][/URL]
