Different tripod for the heck of it
I have used my G11 these past twenty years on a variety of different tripods.? The standard G11 tripod it came with is excellent.? The Berlebach wood tripod is easier to handle in snow.

Re: G11T RA Clicking Sound
Thanks, John. I removed the RA axis cover and did not see anything amiss when slewing. It looked pretty perfect. I fiddled with the SLW. The sound is much fainter now. I don't think it is now

Re: Astroart 8 Not Calibrating / Guiding Gemini 1
Hi Joe,
I'm not familiar with AstroArt, so these comments are based on some assumptions. A few things worth noting:

Re: Astroart 8 Not Calibrating / Guiding Gemini 1
Joe, I’m not great on things like guiding but I do know I have read of issues with this very same camera QHY5ver2

Astroart 8 Not Calibrating / Guiding Gemini 1
Hello All.

I have a QHY5Lii guide camera

Re: G11T RA Clicking Sound
Hi George,
A ticking while slewing does not necessarily mean a problem with tracking and guiding. Since you are in slew speed, it's hard to say where a 0.5s noise might be coming from. You may want

I just received a new Titan axis upgrade for the Losmandy G11. It is a beautiful piece of kit. After balancing the axes and selecting the G11T in the hand controller, I moved the mount on both axes to

Interesting you're dissatisfied with the 858D. I too have one of those plus additional nozzle. Don't use it for anything really sophisticated but find it quite well suited for the occasional job of

Re: Pier Adapter vs. Pier Extension

I did this same thing several years ago. I pulled the MAL adapter head off the tripod and bolted it to the top of my pier with the center bolt hole. However, I did use a rat-cage with two

Re: Cable needed: Gemini2 Serial port to USB connection with FTDI.
