Re: "fast-set" function of Celestron's 492 system
Masami, It should have the fast slew option, although I recently upgraded to Gemini 2 so can¡¯t test it. Regards Paul

"fast-set" function of Celestron's 492 system
Maybe I should ask Scott of HGM instead. I have a very original twenty-years old Celestron's 492 Digital Drive System. It has not been used since I upgraded my CG-11 to Gemini-1 about fifteen years

G11 on JMI Wheeley Bars
I intend to put a G11 with Gemini 2 on the JMI Wheeley Bars with a C14 on the mount (visual observing only). It will be a semi-permanent set up. Objective is to be able to simply roll the whole thing

Re: Polar scope borehole...CG11
Michael, I believe it a compromise between getting in the way of one¡¯s head and having to reach the altitude adjustment knob which having the scope at 90 degrees would be frustrating. Regards Paul

Re: Polar scope borehole...CG11
Any offset angle moves the scope out of the way...that does save ones noggin. But but but... That's why the polar scope hole should be at 90 degrees. Why would you want to put it at 60 degrees CW? ...

Re: Lot of play on G11 RA with one piece worm
Ok. I understand. Sorry for the long winded comments following... There are 2 directions the worm can move... That must be considered and minimized. one is the worm to ring gear spacing. The second is

Re: Lot of play on G11 RA with one piece worm
Michael, I took a look at what you sent me. I guess I didn't explain the problem well enough. It's not side to side movement on the worm gear, it's that the worm gear does not fit into the RA gear

Re: Lot of play on G11 RA with one piece worm
Thanks Michael, I need to check that out. I didn't realize that was in there. On another note, I am expecting delivery of a new Gemini 2 today to solve my problem. Thanks again for helping me with

Re: Polar scope borehole...CG11
When I first took mine out of the box and set it up, I didn't know squat about an EQT mounting system, as I had always been a Dobs guy.. Anyway after I installed the mount to it's tripod in my house

Lot of play on G11 RA with one piece worm
Hello, I have a used G11 that I've bought. Seems to be in pretty good shape. I noticed a lot of play in the RA worm so I took it apart. What we have is a one piece worm assembly and brass worm. There

Polar scope borehole...CG11
Hi gang, There was a recent question about the polar scope borehole DEC angle. Someone mentioned it was strange it was not at 90 degrees from CWD. Just now examining that on my (old) Celestron G11
