Does the G-11 have the 492 digital drive or a Gemini? If it’s the 492, I’ve measured the power consumption at 250mA when tracking and 400mA slewing at 16x. Nowhere near 3A. And there’s no reason

Hi Thomas The G11 will be happiest with a voltage somewhere between 15-18v. I use a standard 12v battery and use a 12v upconverter (lots available on amazon, etc.) As for power on the pier for the

with the head being aluminum I am never quite sure that my 'level' position is not the same as last time. *** My solution to this.. When you are standing North of your CWD Mount, use your little

Thomas, Some of the power could be from one power supply, but you might find more noise in your images if your camera shares a "noisy" power supply -- where the noise comes from some other gadget

Doesn't matter... all I want is a consistent reference point to be able to restore the CWD to. And I have a number of good tools like that (I am also a cabinetmaker), but with the head being aluminum

I'm trying to figure out the power requirements needed for my pier. In the description of the mount it says "Dual 12~18 VDC input/output (3.0 A)" is that the requirement or the output from the dual

Hey Greg I can not image (or see for that matter- hehe) from my near L.A. home, so I travel to locations and set up to image like so many people, and, I use only a visual (with ref to tripod) to

What I had been thinking about was mounting a small level on an angle bracket on the DEC axis. I have been using a small lanyard level from Lee Valley in the dome for this... but the rounded shape of

I get the mount reasonably level because it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling... and takes literally seconds. That being said,It is however probably completely pointless. -Jeff

Dave, Levelling the mount is useful for repeatability and takes only a minute or two. The more accurately you start should speed up the aligning. Regards Paul

Dave, you are absolutely right. Leveling the mount might also make drift alignment slightly faster, but only if you’re using a star almost exactly on the meridian. Once the polar axis is made

If your mount did move into the ground, there is an easy solution to this. I sweep the gound or blacktop of any debris and then place 1/2" pieces of wood on the ground and then place the mount legs on

Lately I have read many posts that put a lot of emphasis on leveling the mount accurately. I may show my ignorance here but I just do not see leveling the mount as being very important. What is

It was just a stupid idea! Sorry it's not something so simple. David

Greg, Nope. But if you have a good idea of what we can use them for I would go and see what fasteners fit in those holes. Chip

The head is on a pier that is in concrete... there is a magnetic level on the column. So no... one leg did not dig into the ground further... g

Thanks, Chip. Any info offhand as to what the tapped holes are threaded for? greg

Sounds like hardware, you might double-check all your mount connections and screws and tighten them sometimes i've found the screws to my tripod were left slightly loose B

Greg, This is a design feature leftover from the days of digital setting circles and not used by any current accessories that I know of. Chip
