I have just been looking at Jupiter and Saturn for the first time through my TV101/G11 combination. At medium power (x100) a vibration of the image was obvious. The vibration frequency seemed to be

If I'm reading this correctly, it's how my older GM100 is already configured, that is, there's a bearing against the worm gear as well as ones at either end of the shaft housing. Scott, am I right

Hello Bill I added a 3rd bearing to the R.A. axis, right next to the pressure plate and clutch pad. This would help, and as for the DEC. axis, yes, but you might have trouble getting the DEC axis

up. Hi Scott I'm confused as to what you are saying. Did you add another bearing set in addition to the original two, and if so where?? What about the Dec axis...would this be the same?? Are you

Hi all, Yes, .003 is probably too much. I've never had any luck compressing needle bearings that far. They tend to distort and bind. There was one suggestion on either the SBIG or STC-USER list.

Hello Everybody I took 4 G11 R.A. axes and measured the movement. Then I placed a 3rd bearing in the housing and measured again. I all cases the movement was cut in half. Also, if you press the

I talked to Scott about that and he says the press fir of the bearings requires a press.It is tight.The issue is the bearing have play and with the built in .oo3 there's juust too much. jimmy

James, Is it possible to find out what shim stock is needed to take up the play and instead of placing it around the shaft, place it around the OD of the bearing and press the bearing into the

Hi Jimmy Most of Scott's business comes from the movie industry - heavy duty tripods for camera support, etc. The telescope mounts are a sideline and because Scott is an observer himself. I would

There is an alternative to the Losmandy and Gemini, at http://ds.dial.pipex.com/awr.tech/ I have one attached to a GP mount, its OK but does not have all the functions in the losmandy or Gemini goto

I'm looking at goto systems for my gm8. Does anyone know if the astrometric is better than losmandy gemini? I'm concerned with function, fit and finish, quality and craftsmanship. I appreciate

I talked to Scott losmandy today about these issues and he is aware of Neal's fix.Scott says the ra will seem better at those tolerances because the bearings are so close (short distance) but the slop

I can't speak for the gemini, but the SW-2 is a great system. The most obvious difference is that the Losmandy system does not require a computer for goto, whereas the sw-2 does. Regards Eddie

I own a gm-8 with a tak fs102. I'm looking into a goto for the mount. Obviously, it's a choice between the astrometric skywalker 2 or the losmandy gemini. I like to know which system is better in

Hi, I have no experience with the JMI version but my battery and cord is velcro'ed in place inside the semi-pier. I just let the cord hang down through the bottom of the pier then up behind the drive

From my experience and discussions with Scott L..the o ring is only there to help hold everything on the shaft ntil you screw the clutches on. It will work with the o ring or without the o ring but it
