My experience is that with more weight tracking is more stable. Maybe you have a bit of stiction. Clutch or grease in bearings/worms. Bit of cleaning and maintenance sorts out 99% of issues.

I am using a G11G purchased new in December 2018. Currently I have mounted a C11 with external focuser and imaging train with a cooled ZWO camera, aluminum dew shield on the front. Earlier this year I

After a few emails with Alexander at Astro Gadget, he has kindly offered to send a replacement unit, because of the comments on this post i have asked if the replacement can be a wifi adaptor instead

Hi all, update, the grub screw on the Oldham coupler had come loose, the thread in the hole has gone sloppy and the screw could do with being a bit longer to catch more thread, fortunately there are 2

Hi! Thanks for your help with new worms for GM8, in fact teleskop-express had some misinformation about Losmandy worms. New high precision worm was installed into my GM8 (steel worm is still in DEC

Here's a pic of the whole setup indoors.

Wow, thanks for all the input! I'm going to stick with cleaning the clutches, but I'll try these alternative clutches to see what kind of difference it makes. I've also ordered an old fashioned beam

Jamie, here's a link to clutch cleaning:?https://youtu.be/oQgSfXKQJ5A -- SonnyE Sonny's Youtube Channel ( https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=sonny+edmonds ) (I suggest viewed in full

What payload do you have on the mount? I'm talking about C11 type load here for myself. I'll weigh the Takahashi CN-212 and see. I'd be interested to hear people experience with heavier loads. PS:

Actually, I'm at 34.5° North. So we may not be that much different. Except the water in our toilets spins backwards. That is a bit annoying. I love the RAEXT. But for other reasons as well. I tried

Anybody else has an opinion or can shed some light on this?

Very likely your coupling gave way.? This can happen with the inline couplers. The clamping type. If the worm meshing gets tight with dropping temperature and you have high torque motors they won't

If you put three dabs of Dow Corning 3145 RTV on the side of the disc opposite the bearing on the flange you'll limit the slide by half.

Hi Jeff You should be able to use the following: Connect your guide camera to your PC using USB Connect your Gemini to your PC using USB (use the square USB 2.0 port on the Gemini). Install ASCOM

Hi Erik noticed that the accuracy improved. That may be coincidence. How much did you tighten it and how did you measure the difference? If you We did some pretty extensive testing regarding clutch

Kofi, What documentary have you watched? I have owned a G11 since 2004, converting it to GoTo about 2 years ago. It has been used for imaging and I would definitely recommend it. Paul

Brian, I think that I tightened the clutches a little more than usual, but I noticed that the accuracy improved. Is there a potential for damage to the bearings when I tighten down? -Erik

Hi, All. I have been using my new G11t for about two and a half weeks now and have yet to figure out how to hook it up for auto guiding. I have been using PHD2 with my Celestron CGX-L mount with some
