I have been getting my new g11t mount out as often as possible and have had some success using it, but it isn’t consistent. The thing I am not sure about is the sequence of polar alignment and

My experience has proven otherwise, Brett. So I run through my routine every time I begin an evening. To me accuracy counts. -- SonnyE Sonny's Youtube Channel (

Hi Stosh, Welcome to the Losmandy Group site. I decided to ask if I could pick up my mount at the factory, because I live a mere 20 miles away. I called and talked with Tanya, and she got back to me

The Earth moving in relation to the stars does NOT require either polar realignment of the mount or a new pointing model. The stars are sufficiently distant that the Earth's movement in its orbit does

Incidentally Warren, *Sharpcap* ( https://www.sharpcap.co.uk/ ) has a Polar Alignment routine in it that works great. That is what I use now. Brian advised me of how to adjust it to work with my Atik

I like Scott's personal advice to me at the time of my Purchase: "Don't tinker with it, just use it." As it is, my Losmandy mount works

Hi Warren, Welcome to the Losmandy Users Group! Brian answered your questions pretty well. What are your planned targets? Visual, or Imaging? I image Deep Space Objects, Nebula specific. That was and

Hi all, thank you for the great responses, there is a lot to learn with Astro gear and I have a long way to go, I don't intend to use push to so dont think I need the shaft encoders, if I'm honest I

Astro Devices will do “special order” low res encoders that will work with the G1 … David Sent: 04 October 2020 04:59 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Losmandy_users_io]

You aren’t the only source of shaft encoders for Losmandy mounts … David Sent: 04 October 2020 02:33 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Losmandy_users_io] Encoders, yes or no?

Hi Warren, I have a GM8 and G11 and just started getting the ASIAIR-PRO ready to test under a real sky. I had been using the G11 with the usual cooled astro camera and autoguider with a Skull Canyon

I have a GM8 with a Gemini 1 which I had kept for the ability to use with shaft encoders. The problem is the Gemini 1 only supports 10K tic encoders and modern encoders as sold by Astro Devices for

Highly slippery is always better if you can keep in in the right place and it doesn't migrate much. SuperLube does just that and stays soft at low temps with low startup torque. Just read the TDS ASTM

Support for high resolution axis encoders would be a great new feature! :) When done well, these could eliminate the need for PEC and, sometimes guiding. Regards, -Paul

David I think if you read what I said it’s true. It’s all the encoders we have available for the Gemini which are the motor encoders. Brian david.partridge@...> wrote: Brian Brian

No, axis encoders aren’t included, only motor encoders. David Sent: 04 October 2020 00:54 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Losmandy_users_io] Encoders, yes or no? Hi Dave

If you are using a Gemini controller, you have the motor encoders. So the question is what’s the point of axis encoders – it buys you the ability to use the mount in “push to” mode while

Hi Stosh answers inline below: *I have to look at the details when i'm back at the shop, i'm not sure if that's correct, but i'll talk with tanya on this* *The MA is part of the tripod, so it

Hi Dave This is a fairly easy one - encoders are included as part of the mount There is a port F that was designed for the idea of future external encoders but that did not come to pass. So the

I’ve had my GM8 since the 90s. At the time there was no Gemini goto unit for the Losmandy mount except for a third party after market mod. The encoders that attached to the RA/Dec gave push to
