Hi- I was told that it would be OK to let the group know I have a G11 mount/tripod for sale.? But rather than overextend my site privileges, I'll leave it to you to contact me privately or see the ad

I believe it was the battery

Hi Francisco, Welcome to the group.? Weight limits are SO problematic. To start it's barely a relevant measure, but marketing people had to find something simple they could use in their ads to out

Hello Francisico Congratulations on your G11G and Welcome to the group. I am routinely? imaging at <1 AS RMS on G11 with 53 lb counterweight for my 10 in RC at 2040 fl using OAG. Balance is critical

Once I changed to the Michael Herman high friction discs I never went back. They really prevent slippage and don't come loose like the plastic ones, so you don't have to keep cranking down for them to

Thanks Brendan & Brian. I've contacted Michael Herman for repairs. He's had my Gemini-1 a couple of times before. So he's familiar with my unit. I'm shipping the Gemini-1 and Michael's 17-volt

I was an early proponent of Michael Herman's high friction clutch discs and I use my Losmandy G11G and GM8G mounts for both imaging and visual. But if you are a dedicated imager and will never use the

Francisco, a 50 pound imaging payload is not really pushing the limit for guided imaging on a G11G mount, not at all.? My C14 fully loaded with double dovetails and Moonlite focuser and the imaging

Francisco With any luck it will be clear enough tonight to do a PHD2 guiding run.? I adjusted the RA worm to ring gear spacing and I want to make sure I didn't mess things up.? I also found some

and i will be ordering a heavy duty mount from losmandy sometime next month, i dont see myself putting the 12" on there with the lightweight tripod. One more thing, the meade SCT OTA bare weighs

Hi Jim! Im the prospective buyer, im really appreciative of the care youre putting in to this sale, seriously. . I Just deforked my Meade LX200 12" and its on a losmandy dovetail i got from losmandy

Michael H's friction disks are made from what looks to me to be high temp automotive gasket material. They are very similar to the system used by Celestron on the Nexstar one armed mounts. These again

How well a mount can be guided is complicated and almost all of the factors are beyond the mount itself.? Mount mechanicals, autoguider app tuning and configuration, primary imaging camera pixel size

Thanks Joe and Chip.? I average around 0.8 to 0.9 arc-seconds RMS using a 200mm FL guide scope and ASI120mm camera in the city with a 25 pound imaging setup.? I rarely get any better than 0.75.? I

Jim, The stated imaging payload of the G11G is 60 pounds.? Many people with heavier and longer scopes are imaging on a G11G with good results.? My friend is imagining with a 10" f/8 Newt that is

Is the G11G 60 pound spec for visual?? I usually use 2/3 or 3/4 of the stated load capacity for the imaging spec. ------------------------ Jim W Phoenix, AZ. USA Losmandy G11G w/ L6, NINA 3.0 /

How about changing the battery in the Gemini2 box?? joe

Hello Jim, It is my belief that yes you will be pushing the mount, the G11G,? you could be taxing the G11T also though not as bad.? I'm assuming that there is a dew shield involved too.? Either

I have a prospective buyer for my G11G w/ LW tripod. They know that the tripod will have to be upgraded to the heavy-duty tripod. They plan to do DSO and planetary imaging with a 12” Meade SCT.

I wonder if this could be what is causing my jerky RA guiding.? Thinking that loose clutches might be the problem, I tightened them down pretty tight.
