My previous long time strategy had been to use 3x 1lb threaded weights that thread into each other like a stack of pancakes and then threaded to end of CW shaft in place of toe-saver bolt. ?I found

I can verify that the PA is unchanging over months of taking the scope on and off of my gm811g. In fact I store both the scope along with the mount inside, and am able to reposition everything very

This is fantastic. I'll be printing this tonight. Thank you!!! Regards, George

Hey George, Happy to share: here is the .3mf file from my Bambu P1S, but I also am attaching the STL exported from Fusion 360. I printed it out of PLA at 100% fill, but I'm sure you could go with a

How well your scope stays well polar aligned depends on the quality of your mounting hardware and how much you bang on the mount while loading the saddle. For visual this is not a big deal but for

Thank you both Paul and Ryan. Thinking this through, the easiest thing for me to do would be to just slide the counterweight down on the east of the meridian and slide it up on the west. To make the

Forgive me if this is posted somewhere, but I did a search and I couldn’t find exactly this. I am at a fork in the road on building my observatory. Either a very small outhouse type covering just my

Pretty sure the first use of the 1.75" wide bar by Vixen was for the C8-SP. The female saddle was mounted on the rear cell of the C8 using its two rear weight system mounting holes. The dovetail bar

Hi George, A little East-heavy balance is needed with most non-spring-loaded worm/gear mounts (including G11T). This is because the worm and the gear can't be meshed too tightly in such a system, as

Hey George, I'm not a G11T user but I do use East-Heavy with my G11G and I have noticed an improvement in general. I had an ADM balancing weight with a vixen clamp and I 3D printed a sleeve that

I just received an axis upgrade for the G11T. Travel, poor weather, and stuff still coming in for my imaging setup will prevent me from putting everything through its paces. For G11T (with Titan RA

HI Allan, You should use the best part for the job to stay happy in the long run.? The Vixen dovetails were developed back when Vixen sold lightweight tiny refractors and these days they are just too

The discussion prompted me to examine the terminology, as I had not previously equated the two items.? The curved extrusions are tube- rails that connect to OTA tubes, creating a box-like structure.

I find the Celestron bar to be fine for the C8, while the Losmandy and ADM are heavy and clumsy. I was a bit surprised that they offered one for the C14.

I am new to this stuff. I got an ADM Losmandy dovetail for my 10" deforked Meade for use on my EQ6R Pro. I find getting on my mount a little harder than the Vixen dovetail. The section it clamps onto

Ken, The padded Orion case was not in stock. I found this Himal 30" telescope case ( https://a.co/d/ekRQVZ8 ) , which worked out great. I can store the three legs, the counterweight shaft, and the

Looks great. How is the Losmandy pier tube attached? Does the tube's base plate simply bolt on?

Pete, See my previous post dated Oct. 16th.? The best possible option is to purchase the current Losmandy GM8G saddle that accepts both the smaller Vixen and larger Losmandy "D" style dovetails which
