yeah - no cover i'm aware of will prevent thieving! wrote:

I have read all these testaments to the hardiness of the Losmandy mount can be. There is no way I'm leaving my rig out. I will put up with the 30 minutes or so setup to get things up and running and

I have left the G11 out for over a year under a Telegizmos 365 cover. I leave the Gemini attached unless there is an expected long spell of inclement weather but even when I have left everything

Brian is spot on use a cover.?? I've seen pics of users leaving them in snow to deserts!?? Of course, bearing lubricants etc used may differ between users like this.? Probably best to Take your

Hi Arun I leave my mounts out 24/365 I don't think doing this once or twice is a problem. However I recommend you cover them so as to reduce contaminants and also sun bleaching of the anodizing. I was

With the sunny weather we've been having, I've taken to leaving my mount outside (I take my scope and box computer in). That has been really helpful in starting back up quickly the next night, since

That's really great. Losmandy has been very helpful when I've had real issues, but their response to smaller questions left something to be desired. Hopefully, this helps in that regard.

Hi David, For folks not here in the US the adjustment as I described works fine but requires a way to monitor current draw. A bench supply is good or any of the small inexpensive meters will do inline

That approach works fine if you’re in USA – shipping a G11 from UK to CA and back makes that a very un-economic option (never mind the argument with customs when it gets back to UK) – much as

Hi Taylor, Are you running the classic 2-piece worm bearing blocks or OPWs? The trick here is to have the Gemini run the mount all the way around the worm wheel watching current draw on a COLD

Taylor, What power supply are you using? Paul

Hi Taylor, Sorry to read you're finding some trouble. Here are some suggestions to resolve the axis that is binding: Remove the motor from that axis and run the system as though it were attached. If

Taylor - it's most likely due to the worm and worm gear binding. the other things you mention or possible contributors but unlikely to stall the axis (unless you obviously see a cable that is taut).

I added bearings and belleville washers per Michael Herman's suggestion to my GM811 (no spring loaded worms). Tonight I wanted to test things out but clouds started to roll in while I struggled

Huh? Well, OK. Don't worry, be happy. I'm happy with my Lead/Acid battery, too. -- SonnyE Sonny's Youtube Channel ( https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=sonny+edmonds ) (I suggest viewed in

Deric The Boeing dreamliner,? that has li ion batteries,? puts them into titanium boxes.?? Why?? Because it's one of the few metals That Won't melt if the battery shorts!!! Hail bms. Chuck

LOL... Sonny, lead acid and gel batteries will just get real hot if they short out, if you have open cells they may leak hydrogen gas that can flash off, you wont even see it. BMS stands for battery

I am very happy with my Orion Dynamo Pro lithium power supply. It is far better and more reliable than the old Celestron Power Tank, which worked when charged, but could not be recharged. That was

Good info Deric! But I'm still a Lead/Acid kinda guy. Goes along with my toxic personality.... LOL! BMS... is that *B* low-up/ *M* elt-down *S* yndrome? LOL! -- SonnyE Sonny's Youtube Channel (
