Russ, While I have not used the Gemini equipped version the AZ8 is basically a GM8G turned vertically.? It will work as expected for visual use but for imaging field rotation will be an issue as it

I'm considering getting what appears to be the relatively new AZ8 with the Gemini 2 go to system with servo motors: https://store-losmandy-com.3dcartstores.com/AZ8-Config_p_255.html I am a visual

Hi, While installing Gem2 Retro-fit kit to my G-11, I lost one of the grub/set screws that hold the worm gear cover in place. Could someone tell me what size they are so I can go to the hardware for a

It all depends on how good you are at de-soldering and soldering. If in any doubt find a friend who has the relevant skills (and equipment). David Sent: 06 April 2025 14:52 To:

*Hello Ciril,* Allow me to jump into this discussion to share my thoughts and also throw in a question for the group. I had the same issue a while back, and Paul pointed out the same solution.

Chip the comment referred to the earlier comment on this thread.? Where Paul mentioned using a washer as a clip hold the motor flange against the housing.? Preventing stress on the mounting bolts

I'm not sure of any material advantage exists for not just replacing the part, given this new part exists and installed with fewer unknowns.? But that reference link for repair of plastic coverings

Yes, but in this design there's really no material to take advantage of the helicoils strengths. It can only thread into the same plastic. A good quality stainless 4-40 has a yield strength of 120

For what it’s worth… I’ve had my G11 for slightly less than a year now, after years of having Celestron GEMs. The G11 on a permanent pier. Like with your situation, my sky is limited by my

Mike, Where applicable Helicoil threaded? inserts are an excellent solution for many metal thread repairs.? I have used them for decades in street and tr

I disagree with the idea that a thread repair solution like a Helicoil is not effective. The approximately doubling of the screw to female thread engagement area makes for a very much stronger

With the HC (L6/1.6) you can use the mount to select your stars.? Say I set the mount to CWD and Cold Start, then I want to use a visible bright star.? ?Slew the mount manually to point the OTA at

Lots of videos on FB/You Tube? on repairing plastic. I generally heat weld plastic to fill the stripped hole and reinforce with fine metal screening that either epoxied or melted in to the plastic.

Thanks for that, Chip, but we can't connect to the mount.? In plugging into the Ethernet Port onto the ASI Air unit, green light comes on, with other end of the cable plugged into the Gemini circuit

The gearboxes are a slightly soft plastic so regular plastic glue that melts the plastic to form a bond probably won't work.? The heavy dental floss does work and you can adjust how much you use to

Could you repair plastic threads by putting a bit of plastic cement (glue) into the threads, letting it harden, and then letting the screw cut new threads into it?
