Re: Screws on the CG-11
Regarding the screws on top of the C11, I had a similar problem with my C11 EdgeHD as I wanted to mount a bar. The screws on the rear towards the mirror were long enough (there are 6 of them with the

Re: Screws on the CG-11
Hi Michael, Thanks for the photos. Indeed, I need longer bolts. I want to replace the original saddle and the replacement saddle is thicker. The threaded part of my original bolts seems to be approx.

Re: On the subject of ... R4ZZ bearings for improved PE...
Jim: As far as I've heard, none of the recent modifications that Losmandy has done (new OPW, tucked gearbox, spring-loaded worm) actually improve performance (they address other concerns).? My

Re: On the subject of ... R4ZZ bearings for improved PE...
Do these new bearings, Belleville washers and clutch disks improve the RA performance?of mounts that are about 14 month old?? I got my GM811G mount just before they migrated to the Spring Loaded

Re: On the subject of ... R4ZZ bearings for improved PE...
Glad you discovered the trouble in your system (was a bad bearing) and fixed it. I agree with your comments that in general we have to rotate the center of these R4ZZ bearings by hand and exclude ones

Re: On the subject of ... R4ZZ bearings for improved PE...
Interesting... the ABEC scale, I'm learning, is really about the dimensional tolerances of the bearing.? From the Wikipedia page <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABEC_scale>: "/The ABEC rating does not

Re: Screws on the CG-11
Do you need longer bolts? If so, how long a threaded part do you need? Here are photos of the saddle bolts on a GM8. (I'll check on the bolt type on my GM8 when I get home. I think they are the same

Dear Group members, I own a Celestron 11 with a Losmandy G11 mount. Now I want to replace the saddle plate and add an accessory bar on top of the C11. However, coming from the metric part of the

Re: On the subject of ... R4ZZ bearings for improved PE...
Yikes, Keith. Not a fun story to read but recently, other owners have been having trouble. If you are in my area, or want me to try a repair of your system, let me know. At least I can try to

Re: On the subject of ... R4ZZ bearings for improved PE...
Funny you should bring up the subject of bearings.? I've been wrestling with my older G11 for some time now and was (or maybe still am) on the edge of moving on from this mount as the hobby has

Hi gang, I have a fellow Losmandy user in Australia, interested in having me send some R4ZZ ABEC-7 bearings to him with some Belleville washers, and clutch disks. So I am putting together a kit for

Re: TP-Link setup
Sounds like I started off with bad advice before coming here. What I want to do is control the mount with my laptop which for now I have stellarium on it. I may try skysafari to see which I like

Re: Guiding east even while east heavy
Ok.... It actually could be the hot weather! When very hot, the internal backup battery can lose voltage and lose some or all of the Gemini1 settings. I suggest these steps: Remove and measure your

Re: TP-Link setup
Thanks? Randy. I was told it needed to be configured in client mode so that I could use it as you described with my gemini 2 and my home network . I was going to let my nephew try it with stellarium.
