Hi List, With all the talk about GoTo on the G-8 and G-11, I took a look at the Losmandy web page and found that only the G-8 and G-11 are specified for use with the GoTo system. Does anyone know if

Take a look here (again...) http://members.aol.com/c8g11/g11clean.html Allan

Bill, I agree with you that the DEC axis will require more clutch force to hold the scope than does the RA axis because of it's orientation. I'm glad we now have this group to discuss our ideas

Bill, you're absolutely right - the DEC setting is a balance between easy to move, and having to hold the scope when you take out that heavy eyepiece! It's not so bad on the MCT, but the large

Steve, I don't know the answer to this paradox (perhaps Scott might be able to chip-in and clear the ambiguity), but with a slew rate of several degrees per second using servo motors, do you need

Yes, you are. In addition to the needle bearings in which the shaft rides, there are thrust bearings under each worm gear. Think about it - when the clutch is locked tight, and you move the DEC with

happier Hi Steve IMO you should have no problem using my fix photographically (is there such a word??) Anyway, the other night, I observed M57 at 428x for a half hour without any perceptable

wrote: functionally identical as far as supporting roller bearing below the worm gear If you think of the weight distribution of the load on the mount, the load is essentially being applied axially

for Hi Bill, How about photographic use? It seems that as long as the OTA is balanced, things should be fine for photographic AND visual use. It would seem that the G11 should come standard with

Hi Don, Yes, I'm sure the Radio Shack Lube will work fine also. I guess the very most important thing is to know that these bearings are not seized inside the mount, and are not hindered by dried

Bill, If you are talking about the G11 both the DEC and RA are functionally identical as far as supporting the weight. Both axes are supported by the large thrust needle roller bearing below the worm

Mark, I went to a local Radio Shack and bought Lube Gel (64-2326) for $2.99. It's in a 3 oz. gray tube and contains Teflon. Has worked fine so far. Don

I hope this clears up some of these questions...Bill --- In Losmandy_users@..., "GC GC" <gcert1@i...> wrote it the clutches I have been using the "fix" for 6 months and have noticed no

Hi David, Being a mechanic for 27 years has helped, but I cannot take full credit for the knowledge I have learned about tuning/maintaining the Losmandy mounts. Folks that have helped me were Scott

Thanks Mark, Your instructions seen quite straight forward and even I should be able to follow them. I notice that you make particular note that one should take care to keep the bearing/shim-pack in

I've done the DSC installation on my G-11. I'm looking at Scott's Goto system. Will I be able to move the scope manually and maintain the alignment? The statements on Losmamdy's web page are a

Scott is right.... With my fix you cannot completely lock down the clutches, however for visual use and using the analog setting circles it works great. Also works great for sweeping up a DSO with

have Hi Vahe It's not the mount, it's the stepper. The GoTo servo motors will fix that. I do have a different stepper you can try, and let me know how it works. E-mail me your address.

I'd like to install encoders on my GM100. Has anyone accomplished this? If so, how? TIA. Paul Sterngold __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with
