Re: Questions on polar scope for G11G
Thanks - I use sharpcap's electronic polar alignment, but like having a back-up polar scope just in case. Too bad the G11G's polar scope doesn't have the graduated circle option.

Re: Questions on polar scope for G11G
Hi John I have a G11G with all the options including the polar scope. It is disappointing compared to my EQ6-R's polar scope which I love. There is no graduat

Re: Questions on polar scope for G11G
IMHO you would be better using something like Sharpcap for polar alignment. It¡¯s really easy to use ¡­ Sent: 07 January 2024 12:10 To: [email protected] Subject: [Losmandy_users_io]

Re: Carrying case recommendations needed for G11G
When I bought my G11G I bought the 2 cases for the 2 parts of the G11 if you get the RA extension. It was cheaply made plastic. I returned it when I went to NEAF. It is not on their website anymore,

Hi John, Considering all the responses and that I am late to the party; I think you have a lot of useful information. Actually, I may be able to learn something too.

Carrying case recommendations needed for G11G
What is the best option for a carrying case for the G11G? Is there one commercially available, and if so, can someone post a link to it? I have heard that the RA axis needs to be disassembled from the

Re: G11G mount with Sharpcap and Stellarium?
Thanks again Ken-? the screen shot really helps. From the picture it looks like I will need to use a baud rate of 9600 with the G11G. My Skywatcher EQ6 mount/EQMOD uses a baud rate of 115200.

I have been trying to find out the sub-second dynamics of my G11S with OnStep for which a guide error log is sampling too slow.? The only way I could think of was to create star trails using the hand

Re: G11G mount with Sharpcap and Stellarium?
My G811G works great with ASCOM driver selected in Sharpcap and Cartes du Ciel (CDC). Using those for four years now. And, of course PHD. I polar align with Sharpcap and then do plate solve with it.

Thanks Ken. This is very helpful! Question... in the sharpcap settings page, any idea which tabs I would need to enter info into? Maybe the hardware tab? I can look at each tab if/when I get the

The MK-1 eyeball is quite good at judging accuracy. The trim carpenter really has to work within 0.125" or folks will notice.

Micheal, There is a fair amount of starting friction that has to be overcome on top of the normal load forces. When the mount is moving steady state the standing friction is lower overall. When you

And Michael's description becomes likely one of a motor that lost position during micro-steps while synchronizing position as the motor passes the next pole position (full torque).? Requiring either

This is from an old Hackaday article about microstepping stepper motors. It is old but the rules and torque losses are immutable laws of the universe and explain the problem using very high microstep
