After making any mod like this you should do a new polar alignment, a new PEC curve (if you do that), and a new guiding steps calibration. Also make sure you are still balanced and redo carefully. The

Hi Tom, hard to tell what’s changed in your setup, but I’d at least check the balance in Dec and RA and make sure the additional hardware hasn’t affected the worm/gear mesh. Regards, -Paul

Hello, I bought an RA extension and 12" pier extension for my g11.? The goal was to improve meridian flips with my 130mm refractor. I checked all the screws in both components and they are

I don’t have a lot of experience with mounts since I’ve only owned two Losmandys so, I have no idea what a great adjustment system looks like or how they work ;). However, on both my mounts the

Thanks, Bill. Very helpful! The important point is that it sounds as if the GM8 adjustors are very workable, if not as good as my A-P 1200GTO (on which they are very good). Nothing can be as bad as

Greg, I will be a bit of a contrarian here. I find there is quite a bit of slop (backlash) in the adjusters. Others here have commented on it before so I don’t think it is just me. When

Where does one get the kind of washer you recommend?

The use of flat thrust bearings is really not needed, there should never be that much force on the lock knob/lever.? If you really feel compelled to mess with the adjustment locks a good cheap

Good data point, Michael. Thanks! It really sounds to me as if the GM8 might be among the best light (lighter?) weight non-strain wave mounts available today. You’ve been around a long time, so

I can tell you the GM8 adjusters are much better than the CGEM or AVX.? The secret, as has been noted, is not to loosen them more than necessary when you're going to move them.? I installed knobs so

Thanks, guys. That helps! I have plenty of experience with GEMs and know what great adjustors are like (my A-P 1200GTO) and sketchy adjustors (my MI-250). Adjustors that work properly make PA an

Many of us here are portable mount users, the adjusters and adjustment locks work fine if you know how to use them.? My best advice.on adjustment is to only loosen the adjuster locks just enough to

circa '94 GM8. As long as you are reasonably close of course to have the play in the azimuth direction, I have never had an issue. Bill _____________ Pictor

How good are the alt/az adjustors on the GM8? As someone who has to setup and tear down for each session, it's important to me that these adjustors work well with minimal backlash to make polar

Doh! It's back to life. Somehow the ethernet settings on the PC were trying to connect over tcp instead of udp. It's working now after I put the settings back to where they should

I've always used ethernet. Last night my system which was setup for ether wouldn't connect. I can't seem to get it to connect at all, and the lights are not on at the ether plug on the gemini. They

Welcome to the Losmandy groups!? Many of the folks here are long time users and have a ton of useful info and I hope you find us helpful and that you become part of this great community of users. As

Sorry, forgot to mention, have you read the Gemini manual ( http://www.losmandy.com/losmandygoto/gemini_manual_l4.pdf ) ? it’s a bit long but a must if you want to make the most of your new mount

Hi Thomas, let me be the first to welcome you to the groups. Just FYI, there’s another group tailored more specifically for the Gemini 1 controller. Most of the people who hang there also hang here
