Hi Tom, How an ASI Air records the guiding data and how it could be used to diagnose RA errors is not something I am familiar with. However, if you can do some guiding with PHD2, that would provide

This is after the meridian flip.

Does this help?

Tom, i do see the jumps, but it's hard to see when or why they happen from a screen shot. Can you capture some autoguider logs (text) showing the position error, and corrections? Don't know if you can

Paul, I took a couple of screen shots of what is happening tonight.

Tom, how does the autoguider calibration look compared to before? Does it take RA and/or DEC more time to reverse direction? If dithering takes a lot longer now, I start suspecting increased backlash

Thanks Paul.? I had notifications off.? I apologize. Tom

John and Paul, Thank you for the replies.? Apparently I don't have notifications enabled so I just saw your messages. My balance is good and I do a new polar alignment and calibration every night

It has and you’ve already received a couple of suggestions: /g/Losmandy_users/message/83481

Hello, I was wondering if my recent question has been approved for the forum. Thanks, Tom

After making any mod like this you should do a new polar alignment, a new PEC curve (if you do that), and a new guiding steps calibration. Also make sure you are still balanced and redo carefully. The

Hi Tom, hard to tell what’s changed in your setup, but I’d at least check the balance in Dec and RA and make sure the additional hardware hasn’t affected the worm/gear mesh. Regards, -Paul

Hello, I bought an RA extension and 12" pier extension for my g11.? The goal was to improve meridian flips with my 130mm refractor. I checked all the screws in both components and they are

I don’t have a lot of experience with mounts since I’ve only owned two Losmandys so, I have no idea what a great adjustment system looks like or how they work ;). However, on both my mounts the

Thanks, Bill. Very helpful! The important point is that it sounds as if the GM8 adjustors are very workable, if not as good as my A-P 1200GTO (on which they are very good). Nothing can be as bad as

Greg, I will be a bit of a contrarian here. I find there is quite a bit of slop (backlash) in the adjusters. Others here have commented on it before so I don’t think it is just me. When

Where does one get the kind of washer you recommend?

The use of flat thrust bearings is really not needed, there should never be that much force on the lock knob/lever.? If you really feel compelled to mess with the adjustment locks a good cheap

Good data point, Michael. Thanks! It really sounds to me as if the GM8 might be among the best light (lighter?) weight non-strain wave mounts available today. You’ve been around a long time, so
