Hi Guys, Yes, I'm with Chip on the parts order... and so does Mark Crossley, who has put nice photos at his website: www.WilmslowAstro.com The images are here:

It does. When I disassembled the unit I looked at the thin bearing washer and said, that is not good, but Losmandy has been making quality mounts for a long time so it must be ok. I thought this

Maybe related? I find that once PHD2 loses its tracking, it doesn't even try to retrack. I even had the weird situation that it was tracking and seemed fine, then just stopped tracking. It did that

I did check for cable snags, which was my first thought, but everything seemed OK. Balance seemed good, but I could have had some sliding in the dovetail. I had to rebalance after I placed a 2"

Thanks for the information. Good to hear it should perform at or better than the G11G. ________________________________ Sent: Saturday, September 23, 2017 3:39 PM To: Losmandy_users@...

Hi Charlie, First, I am glad you said that your guiding up to the meridian was excellent. That says all of your hardware and software and electronics are working perfectly. As for the problem itself,

Saturday night I started imaging, guiding with PHD2 (the guide log image has been uploaded). For the first hour, guiding was perfect. I then had some severe jumps, but it settled down. Then, as it

Hi Chris, The wavy spring washer should not be located where it is constrained by its OD! As delivered Losmandy mounts place the wavy spring washers directly working on the outer bearing race. Many

For those who care. My major problem with high torque was the wave-washer. It had an OD of 51.01 mm and the bore of housing is 50.80 mm. An interference that when assembled restricting shaft rotation.

Hi Chris, Hope your wife has a speedy recovery. Eric

Thanks Eric for the follow-up note. I will look at it when I can, my wife is very ill in the hospital and my astronomy is on the back burner. I have the precision tools and skill to make the repairs

Best not to cross post between losmandy/Gemini yahoo forums. especially since the photos are on the other group forum. Obviously there is some worm zig zag but I'm not the best at actual operational

Dragging cable? Regards, Charlie

See photo section for 2 posted 3 min exposures, one guided using PHD and one un-guided

Hi Chris, Clutch loading is the same problem I had. My DEC axis became stiff when the clutch was tightened. My top bearing housing was not installed straight (you can see evidence of this on my DEC

Thanks Eric for the note. My problem appears to be different from yours. It is/was totally related to clutch loading. With low clutch pressure they could be easily rotated by hand, very low torque and

Hi Chris, This sounds precisely like the problem I had with my GM8. It's possible one of the bearing housings is misaligned with the main bore. When this is the case, as the clutch is tightened, the

Hi Bill, The GM811G is just a G11G bottom with a GM8 top. So the tracking will be just as good if not better than the G11G because the RA axis does all the work once you are on an object and the G11G

Hello all, Brand new to the group, and I am looking for some data on the GM811G mount. Specifically, I am looking for information on how it has been working for Astrophotography. How is the Periodic

Hi Chris, I think your report makes some sense... In the case of the high load weights, the weight of these (x sine and x cosine of the downward angle) are acting the same as having the DEC and RA
