Re: G11G RA Clutch
Eric you are correct, my bad. I thought we were talking G11GT I¡¯ll have to revisit my comments My G11G does not have the 40 second periodic error, so ignore that (I should also clarify I meant 40

Re: G11G RA Clutch
According to the Losmandy website the G11G is just a G11 with goto. The G11GT the the G11 DEC and Titan RA.

Re: G11G RA Clutch
Guys Just to clarify, are we talking a G11 or a G11G? The G11G is the Titan RA with G11 DEC The RA portion has nothing to do with the regular G11 RA axis I¡¯m confused now, but again, I am here in LA

Re: G11G RA Clutch
Hi Rich, Where are you located? I'm sure there is somebody near you that has a G11 that can help if you live near a city or large town. I'm in L.A., Michael Herman is up in bay area. I'm sure people

Re: G11G RA Clutch
Rich, There are surely folks here who have more experience of adjusting the G-11 than I have, but mine is a current model and for what my opinion is worth... I am not sure why you would want to

Re: G11G RA Clutch
Michael I¡¯m in LA happy to show you what I have The 40 arsec is manageable, though I¡¯d prefer to PE correct it out. In my last guiding 2 hour guiding session I was around 1 arsec even with that

Re: GM-11 general lubrication
Hi David, Personally I don't use any additional lubrication, i don't think i would want to either I prefer my alt/az adjustments more sticky than not One thing I do recommend is not loosening them too

Re: GM-11 general lubrication
David, One thing I found helped: when you unbolt the AZ bolts to adjust the polar alignment, the vertical axis can become slightly wobbly. I added Belleville washers between flat washers (3/8 inch ID

Re: G11G RA Clutch
Hmmm... not good reports. That PE of 40 arcsec is a red flag. I think there were some new "features" added to the new mounts... one of them is some kind of spring that releases the clutch mechanism. I

Re: G11G RA Clutch
I adjust the worm at the point that I usually run the clutch tightness. Tightening the clutch should technically not affect worm tension unless there is any give in the clutch pad material which is

Re: GM-11 general lubrication
If anything I'd say use a speck of some kind of 'anti-seize' compound. Most of the screws are steel on aluminum, and that can gaul. Most, if not all of my knobs, have a black plastic washer on them

Re: G11G RA Clutch
I second not messing with the hardware until you've exhausted other options. There is a thread in the PHD2 groups from Tucker that is experiencing the same type of issue with the erratic 5-7" spikes,

Re: G11G RA Clutch
Hi Chip, This is indeed a new mount and I have been fighting this RA problem since day one. I've already called Scott and all he said was he's never heard of this problem before. Nuff said on that.
By Rich Sornborger · #59419 ·
Re: G11G RA Clutch
Hi Rich, Is this a brand new mount? If this is a factory new G11G or a G11 that has been retrofitted by Scott at the Losmandy shop stop messing with it and call Losmandy describe the problem. Your

G11G RA Clutch
New G11G owner here. I have noticed that if I tighten up my RA clutch all the way it puts a substantial drag on the worm gear. I found this out by pulling off the aluminum spur gear at the end of the

GM-11 general lubrication
Hello! I am the recent owner of a new ES/Losmandy G-11 (with PMC-Eight) and now I have become accustomed to the impressive engineering and manufacture, I have a question. I notice that the adjustment

Hi! It took a few more days than planned, due to windy weather, but tonight I thoroughly tested the setup again. Here are some screenshots of the settings as seen on the HC:

Re: G1 on G-11 refuses to go to bright stars
At the risk of repeating myself, make sure you enter your coordinates only through the hand unit. It¡¯s really finicky about how that data is entered. If you aren¡¯t sure, reset the sites and start

Re: G1 on G-11 refuses to go to bright stars
Hi! Well. In the evening, at 21.00 to 23.00 circa, when I've been doing this, Ursa Major is North of Polaris, but Andromeda is not - it's to my East. Both those areas were "no-goto". I'll check the

Re: G1 on G-11 refuses to go to bright stars
Hi! Yes, of course, you are right. When using HC and doing Go To Bright star, it is align, then additional align. The computer does sync. Sorry for this. Magnus
