Re: GM-811G dimensions?
I have a GM-8 in a Pelican iM2750 and that could probably handle a full G-11, especially now that the motors are tucked in. You can look for the dimensions for that box. I have room in there for a pie

Re: High worm torque
It does. When I disassembled the unit I looked at the thin bearing washer and said, that is not good, but Losmandy has been making quality mounts for a long time so it must be ok. I thought this

Re: GM8 Guiding near meridian
Maybe related? I find that once PHD2 loses its tracking, it doesn't even try to retrack. I even had the weird situation that it was tracking and seemed fine, then just stopped tracking. It did that

Re: GM8 Guiding near meridian
I did check for cable snags, which was my first thought, but everything seemed OK. Balance seemed good, but I could have had some sliding in the dovetail. I had to rebalance after I placed a 2"
