Subject: High worm torque Hello, I have a GM8, current Gemini 2 (square). My question is” should the torque to turn the worm increase as the clutch pressure is increased”? I am told that it should

Chip, how do you feel the new OPW compares to the older one that had the gearbox mount? Keith

Naturally, a 2am, I missed the fact that the hand controller is not connected. Sorry for that error. But I'd still look for corrosion at the hand controller socket, and the G1 board. Best of luck,

Hi guys, Sounds to me like some slight shorting either in the hand controller membrane switch, or possibly on the surface of the board inside the hand controller. I am thinking slight surface

David, I have a G1 that displays some odd behavior at times (sudden scrolling of the quick-menu on the HC, blocking all autoguiding - probably due to some erratic contact btw the HC contact and the

Hi! Thanks, that is helpful in clarifying how the PEC works, great! I'm actually considering an upgrade from G1 to G2, that is why I'm particularly interested in if that would add something to the PEC

Hi Magnus, I can't comment on any difference between G1 and G2, but here are other comments. You must always park your mount...that's the only way the Gemini knows the worm rotation angle. ( The same

Hi! Anyone here who can clarify the differences in PEC handling and capabilities between Gemini 1 and Gemini 2? There is some PEC functiionality in both as I understand it... Also: as I understand it

Rob, I've had pretty good results with a virtually new Losmandy G11 which sat in a closet for 14 years before I bought it a couple years ago. From a 15 year old virtually new G11 #492 digital drive

Agree! My G11-G2 is working very well - far exceeding my current capabilities! I've been into astronomy and astro-imaging since the mid-50's. I recently had cataract surgery in both eyes that has

Haha, I think my current one, the last in a long series of newer & newer G8's, G-11's, has been running for at least 3-4 years now with barely a hiccup electro-mechanically and pretty darn good for

Rob, I feel exactly the same way about my G11 too. It performs flawlessly as my astophotography platform. John

Hi hi everyone, I've had my G11 for over 8 months now and I've used it a lot, especially this summer. Other than the bump I had a month or so ago it has exceeded all of my expectations. I've taken

Sorry

Hi Michael, What you described is correct (Sorry for the long windedness). The bearing housing appears to be machined correctly (though I didn't disassemble the pressed assembly). I believe it would

Eric, Thank you for that detailed description. The root cause seems from your writeup to be incomplete (tilted) bearing seating into the (correctly) machined sleeve. So your tool kit and some rubber

A short review: I bought a really pristine GM8. But when it arrived, the DEC axis was stiff and binding. Upon disassembly, I found that the DEC shaft had some significant wear marks, indicating that

Hi Don, Thanks... reading (esp at 2AM) was never my strong suit. Bottom line: if Losmandy can supply these 27C64 EPROMs for those with GM8 mounts, then I do not need to create a 2nd stock of them. I

Michael, Changes for Northern / Southern Hemisphere Operation is at bottom of page 6. http://www.losmandy.com/pdf/gm-8-manual.pdf Was wondering if a call to Losmandy might get you the PROM only. Don

Has to be G8 but have bought one. Thanks
