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

Hi all. I'm new to Groups, and new to the hobby. I am set up with a very old C-11 on a G-11, with G-1 controller. It has power but is not tracking well. I don't want to be in the 'wrong section', ask

One thing I noticed is that your cables are going between the RA and DEC wires.? I would redo the cable bundle to one side or the other, based on which way the flip goes.? It's a good idea, cheap

I have ordered the Scope Roller 70: 100mm AlPu? for astrophoto Thanks for all help.

What I do with the G11 is mimic what the DEC motor cable does by routing the camera cables (power and USB) between the clamp knobs, contained with a silicone band around both knobs. I use a fairly

This is for tucked-in motor adjustment, but similar adjustment would apply to the older motors, mounted on the outside: https://youtu.be/Vqqjz40qAu4?feature=shared Check out other videos on how to

You may want to contact Losmandy about parts for the non-tucked motor design. My tucked motor G11G2 has two outer spur gears under a black oval cover, and the gearboxes go between motor and bottom

It could be the gearboxes. I believe Losmandy refers to these as the Spur Gears, but I could be wrong. The two gears under the oval covers for both RA and DEC.

First thought is that your drive motor(s) have loosened up and are not meshing tightly. If you loosen the 2 screws and then try to turn the motor CW or CCW and see which makes the sound less, then

I don't really use the HC much other than to set safety limits and manually slew around after I adjust the worm gear. During the last few days I've been using it more often for those purposes and I

Gary, Are you sure it isn't the motor gearboxes? Mark C
