Any bearing can give issues. ? We used to clean and re-grease miniature bearings for F111 instruments. ? I’ve forgotten most ?I used to know about them we had a huge bearing bible book. I

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.

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

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

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

Hard to say without knowing more details on your guiding. I leave both my G11 and G11T outside 24/7 even under the current hot conditions, and it hasn't impacted my guiding I'm not sure what you are

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

Hi GregBut WHAT are you trying to do? Using it “with your home network” is pretty vague. Why does it need to be on your home network? If you want to connect to the telescope wirelessly with your
