Chip nice writeup It's getting better at the shop but it's still quite a few weeks lead time right now when are you coming back to finish your mount? :)

A day or two ago I asked how best to achieve CWD position. Sonny replied I just realized that my tripod is set up so the counterweight shaft is between two legs, it can’t be over a leg. Not that it

Hi Jeff, My name is Chip, Louie is my surname. The main issue is the value proposition of buying a used Losmandy mount for imaging that lacks Gemini 2 and spring loaded worms. If you don't have these

That has always been my first line of attack on an intermittent contact ;) Started using it back before it was called DeOxIt..... it used to be called Cramolin. Caig Labs makes some miraculous claims

i would just use some deoxit on the contacts -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentepho

Hi Russ there are usually two culprits of motor stall gear binding (which is sounds like you've investigated) low power - it sounds like this may be worth exploring. As michael said, make sure all

I would be VERY careful using a file. Most contacts are plated and using a file on them will very likely remove some plating. This can expose the underlying base metal which will then corrode, making

Russ, A few things can cause this behavior. First of all, check the motor cable both ends for any corrosion of the 6 pins at each end. I try to polish those connection pins up. Likewise the female pin

Last time I used my Losmandy G11/Gemini-1, it kept giving "Motor Stalled" message when starting go-to alignment. I came to believe the problem was with the Dec motor/gear train. So yesterday during

I'd be fine with adding switches, especially if there were a DIY kit offered from Losmandy.? From this thread on the Gemini forum ( /g/Gemini-II/topic/17915575#8015 ) , it sounded

I'm in the "buy new, don't inherit do-do" camp. I'm not saying the used mount isn't a great value, it may very well be great. But it might also have some very frustrating quirks, or wear and tear, to

I have my configuration set to do a Cold Start, because I always want to build a new model. I did that just to by-pass the "Prompt if not Started", which I believe is the default Boot. How many Warm

Hi. ?Would someone be able to comment on how the RA and DEC divisors can be used to generate a custom tracking rate? I would be interested in this for doing “track and stack” imagery of

...as far as CWD, Bill, I have a plumb bob I hang on a hook centered on the toe-saver weight stop. It's pretty simple, just a steel fishing leader, 24" long, with a 1 ounce pyramid sinker on one end.

Hi Bill! I'm pretty anal about my set up. I level my tripod, with the head off. I've long done that with my AVX mount, and now with my GM811GHD. The idea is to Start off with the base plumb to the

David, you are correct. Paul K caught my error last night and set me straight. I apologize. I was wrong to say it was different between the G-1 and G-2. There is Warm Start, Warm Restart, and Cold

Michael, G-1 DOES have Warm Restart David

That is how I have it setup now.? Just did another verification test and I am getting a prompt now regarding boot sequence.? Thanks for all help. Think I learned more today with this system then the

Russ park position and it did. Now, I powered off the mount (while waiting for clouds to go by) and powered back up 30 minutes later. Also you don't have to power down the mount - you can either leave
