Encoder resolution
Hi,
Just joined this group and would like to solicit your opinions on
encoder resolutions for the GM8. I have picked up a set of used
encoders from a GM9 and retrofitted them on to my GM8. The

Re: Mounting C9.25 using Losmandy plates
Robert,
My feeling is your 9.25 should mount fine. If you were told you would
have to mount you 9.25 upside down, I am betting you can go the other
route like I did. I can carry my OTA around by the

If you don't find one, would you be interested in splitting a pair?

Re: Mounting C9.25 using Losmandy plates
Gregory,
Thanks for the info. I wonder if the hole pattern is the same
on the C9.25? The C9.25 also weighs a bit more than the C8 OTA
(about 22 pounds I think), but hopefully not enough to make a

Re: Mounting C9.25 using Losmandy plates
Robert,
I too was told I would need to mount my C8 OTA upside down on my
Losmandy Dovetail.
I discovered otherwise. I used the standard dovetail for the G-11 and
was able to mount the OTA rightside

Mounting C9.25 using Losmandy plates
Has anyone mounted a C9.25 using the Losmandy dovetail? If you put

Re: Where can I get a hand controller cable splitter?
"Ace Hardware" stores carry a 6 conductor splitter (part # 3108396) in
the telephone accessory section.
I hope this helps.

I'm considering a autoguider to use with the G11. The hand
controller cable uses a 6 conductor cable and I assume that a st4
uses the same. I have found plenty of standard 4 conductor phone
cord
