Eddie, I understand that the Losmandy GOTO upgrade will have its own version of TPoint. Does the Astrometrics version have something similar? Is this what you mean by drive corrector? Greg

Finished processing more of my images from the last week at ARGO. I have arrived at the conclusion that there is no escaping the need for lots and lots of exposure at f/8. Some of the newer images

With all the hoopla about the new GOTO Losmandy system I wondered if anyone else used one of the other aftermarket Losmandy GOTO retrofits like "AIM Control" (http://www.qei-motion.com") or

Hi Paul - I bought mine about 10 or 11 years ago at Riverside. It is serial number 0016. I have an early drive gear. I know this because at the time I bought it Scott offered to install a "new" type

Hi Karl, It's good to hear from another GM100 owner. How do you find the tracking accuracy of your mount? Any tricks that have improved it? Any tricks to improve (remove slop from) the DEC tangent

Milton, I think it's 3.5" OD by 1.25" ID and .031 thick. Not quite sure about OD but it did measure it and that's what I remember. Don

Hi Greg, I do not use the King tracking rate. My impression was it works for low to the horizon shots. Since I do not have a complete understanding of it, I have never tried it. I have not tried the

Does anyone know the exact size of the supplied nylon washer? I guess I can find out by taking the head apart, but would rather see if anyone knows. Thanks, Milton <snightingale40@h...>

Tom, After another night fine tuning my G11 I still have not achieved your guiding error rate. So I'll keep trying. :-) Two more questions: Do you use the King tracking rate? Do you find that

Hi Gil, The very first day I had my HGM-200 mount, I immediately knew it needed lubing. As you mention, the RA bearings are easy to inspect, and re-lube. If you have noticed that these bearings
