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

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

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

I have used my G11 these past twenty years on a variety of different tripods.? The standard G11 tripod it came with is excellent.? The Berlebach wood tripod is easier to handle in snow. Less known

Oberon510’s picture shows the hand knobs at the top of extension and hex bolts on the adaptor. You can also switch these bolts so that extension stays attached to the RA rather than tripod/pier when

Thanks, John. I removed the RA axis cover and did not see anything amiss when slewing. It looked pretty perfect. I fiddled with the SLW. The sound is much fainter now. I don't think it is now

I appreciate all the replies and the pictures. It helped quite a bit. I ordered the 12" extension. Thanks, Joel

Hi Joel, Some pics of my pier attached. Below the rat-cage, I have a 4" OD solid aluminum cylinder bolted to one side of railroad track cemented into the ground, and another 2x3" aluminum bar on the
