Re: multi-star PHD2!
Brian, Normally I use a ZWO ASI290MM (2.9 micron) on an 80x400 mm guide scope, which works out OK. Or sometimes I use a William Optics 50x200mm guide scope or a Lodestar X2 (8.3 micron) in combination

Re: counterwieghts for GM811G
Mike, I think it would be best to add a second 11 pound plus a 7 pound. I say this because ideally you want to place the counterweights about the same distance from the RA axis as the center of mass

Re: G11 Gemini II ASIAIR

Re: counterwieghts for GM811G
Hi Mike, Welcome to the group! No, no idea really. But the GM811G has a 1.25" solid steel shaft which is rather hefty in itself, then the counter weights are solid cast iron with a hammertone paint
