Re: Where to buy gear
I¡¯d probably just give Losmandy a call. For parts like that, I¡¯m pretty sure they would be anble to get them even if they aren¡¯t listed on the website. JMHO Jim -- *Visual Telescopes* : Meade

Where to buy gear
Hi, I went to adjust the OPW backlash adjustment on my GM811 DEC and noticed one of the spur gears' set screws was completely loose. When I went to tighten it, the spur gear fell and hit the brick

Re: Who is imaging with a 130mm refractor and G11G?
I've been using an ES 127mm Refractor for a couple years on the G11G. Absolutely no problem at all. I started using it on the G811G and that handled fine as well. You are good to go with a 130mm if

Re: Who is imaging with a 130mm refractor and G11G?
I have been imaging for a few years on my G11G with my 150mm refractor @1050mm, with a total weight of 24Kg on the mount. I believe it is very close to the mounts limits, but doable. I could achieve

Re: Who is imaging with a 130mm refractor and G11G?
Until recently, I was running a C8 and RASA 8 side-by-side on the G11G. My total RMS was rarely over 0.2. If your guiding is a going well and then you get a blip, I¡¯d reach out to Losmandy. My mount

Re: Who is imaging with a 130mm refractor and G11G?
I get great guiding with my AT130, anything more the .5 RMS is a bad day. What voltage do you run you mount at? It sounds like you might be having a cable snag.? I do run a .8 reducer on my

Who is imaging with a 130mm refractor and G11G?
I'm curious if anyone here is getting good imaging results with a 130mm refrcator on their G11G? I've been trying with my C11 at f/7, which is double the focal length of most 130s so much harder, but
