Could be Donald, I was just having another look and thinking that the dec encoder unit would be hitting the RA motor housing if it weren't for the spacer. Could jus tbe the perspective in the picture

Eddie, That looks like a spacer that might be needed to clear the extra height for the RA motor housing. What do you think? Don

It looks great doesn't it! I was wondering what mount is shown in the pictures ? It looks like a G-11, but has an extra collar on the front of the RA axis. Looks a lot like the illuminated reticle

As another person has advised on another list, the Losmandy web page on the GOTO has been updated, see here http://www.losmandy.com/newprod.html Greg Crawford

Thanks for that Gregory, But for me to align on Ursa Major, I would have to have a transparent floor, and a hole drilled through the planet. Too much effort for me. I think I'll just use Sigma Octanis

I agree Dave, once I saw I was having trouble getting the poles out of the can, I chickened out. IMLE, attacking the resonance by adjustment of weight / balance is a lot easier to implement, and

Thanks Doug! Hmmm - sounds like the illumnator is a bit fancier. I have an older Losmandy polar scope, the illumnator is detachable and the control box is heavy plastic with a rotary brightness

Hi Robert! Thanks! I forgot we spoke of this briefly last time at Lake Sonoma. Sounds like a great alternative. -David

What is the Best grease to use on the G-11 Worm Gear? Fred

Jim, The S2 encoders would work but they are shaped differently than the S1's and a new housing would have to be added. If you use the NGC Sky Vector as your computing interface to the encoders then

Eddie, The JMI will attach just like the Losmandy. Inserting it through the center of the RA shaft. It is a 6x finder, comes with a collar that allows it to be tightened into place using the threaded

Rechecked dec shaft OD, agree that it is undersized by .002-.003in. My vernier calipers aren't that great.So it looks like I have the same problem that has been posted; misery loves

Thanks for the details. I assume that the other marking are for the southern hemisphere is that correct. wrote: scope I can't seem to find the files section.

Out of curiosity, has anyone here ever looked into the possibility of swapping out the S1 encoders on the DSC's with S2 encoders? Difference would be 4096 vs. 8192 in resolution which would translate

Hi Eddie, The JMI EZAlign mounts in the same place and in the same manor as the Losmandy polar scope. We have sold many of them for both G-11???s and GM-8???s. From what our customers are

Just thought I would mention that I rarely use the LED with my G11 polar scope. I do my alignments at twilight when the three reference stars and the reticle are plainly visible against the

Hi there, I have been trying to get a polar alignment scope for my G11 for about 6 months but keep getting told they are not available. The JMI EZAlign for Losmandy looks really interesting but I

yes, Hello Scott My specific problem is slop in the lower dec bearing. Again, my shaft dia is 2.250, so I don't have the undersized shaft problem. Are you saying to... 1. Press out the existing

Hi Guys: A word of warning here: I attempted this and ended up trashing the motor. Had to buy a new one from Losmandy. I would advise against Rene's procedure unless you are completely comfortable

From what I have been able to tell (I have never actually seen a Losmandy polar scope) they do have the same reticle as the JMI unit, so functionally they should be the same. The illuminator seems
