Re: G11 Cable Management
Hi!
I also use a tubing of sorts, flexible, but I run my big cable above and across the tube, and down the other side, giving some more room for flexibility. It runs over the G11 head at the RA axis,

Re: G11 Cable Management
Hi Natalie:
I've also had issues with cable hanging up on knobs or other things with my

Re: G11 Cable Management
Hi Nat
It doesn't look terrible - the big white bundle could use to be supported
farther up so it doesn't risk dragging (like around gemini level)

Re: G11 Cable Management
Here's my cabling. I am using that large spiral plastic flex tubing you buy at auto parts stores. I attach it at the base, then at the saddle knob, then at the finder scope. The Gemini isn't in this

Re: First Light, first night, Wow! GM811GHD under the stars.
I absolutely agree Sonny, compared to The AVX mount, Celestron replaced it and it is now on it's way to a new home. I guess I swapped it for A Baader diagonal and assessories. One of my friends said "

Re: First Light, first night, Wow! GM811GHD under the stars.
Brian,
Since this is all new to me, I think bright stars help me speed things up. Except last night the glaring Moon was a PITA. But Stellarium is happily sending the mount to the new objects for me.

Re: G11 Cable Management
I spent today finishing up my harnessing, and consolidating my wiring. I have two wires leaving my new GM811GHD. 12 volt power, and a single USB from my HUB.
But lets see if I can get some pictures

Hi Brian,
Here's some photos of our existing cable management attempts for our two basic scope configurations...
Please note that the SV50ED is only for EAA finder use and not guiding, as that allows

Re: G11 performance unguided
I too would be interested to see "RMS" for each of several exposures for reference/comparison to guided performance.
Maybe from PEMPro? Does PHD2 give you another way to do this? You said you

Hi All,
We are struggling to get a good (imaging) cable management solution to work with our new G11G and would like some advice.

Hi Sonny
