Mark, No, you are actually clarifying things for me. A friend of mine lubricated his G11 and told me that I had to be very careful in which type of grease to put on the mount. Now I know

Hi Milton There are so many types of grease to choose from. (Most will work just fine) My reasoning is to look for greases that are designed to operate with a wide Temp range. This usually applies to

Hi Milton: I liked your piece on the GM-8 and are of the same persuasion as you. I can't remember if I told in some e-mails we exchanged a little while back, but I used to own a C-5 and bought it

My worm gear is bright solid brsss. I guess its a collectors item now. Do you know there is a small Allen screw at the base of the worm block that is used to adjust the pressure exerted by the worm

Hey Guys, Maybe I missed it, but is there any kind of lubricant that works better than another when re-lubing the GM-8/G11 mount. Would White Lithium be best? I also heard that green bicycle

GC, I would get the 11 pound counterweight. The M603 *will* work with the 7 pound weight, but it will probably put the counterweight at the very bottom of the counterweight tube (at least this is

Regardless of the hoopla, the price of the system is quite amazing. Consider the following based on Pocono's pricing. G-11 Package with Polar Scope $1895 G-8 Package with Polar Scope is $1449 G-8

There are a couple of ways to answer your questions. First the easy one. The Vixen (VC-200L) is a Vixen modified Cass and looks similar to a C8 with no front corrector plate. By itself on the GM11

Thanks for the response. With just the VC-200L (what is that anyway--never heard of it) mounted how much extra weight do you need if it's mounted directly on the G-11 adapter (no DSBS)? And if the

Hi Rockett, All of the images I have taken with the C11 this year has been with the SW2 control system. I have posted them to abpa over the months, but as yet don't have any one my web page. If you

Thanks, Karl. I believe my mount has the "high precision" gears. When I bought it, the seller told me it did, and I called Scott to confirm. He said that if the polar gear was black, it's HP. I

Greg, By drive corrector, I mean just a hand paddle with the ability to control the drives at varying speeds. Similarly to the standard Losmandy drive system. Astrometric have implemented TPoint

I have been using the Skywalker II from Astrometric instruments on a G11 for months now and it is a fantastic system. It needs a computer for full goto control, and is compatible with theSky V5.

Eventually, I received my polar alignment scope for the G-11 from Pocono Mts. Alas, there were no instructions so I tried to figure it out. I thought I did but some evidence indicates that I

I am using a similar setup. GM8 with G-11 adapter and a DSBS to confuse matters a little. My options turn out to be a VC-200L (About the weight of a C-8), a Questar Duplexs in Losmandy rings and/or a
