If what you are describing is accurate (i'm not saying it isn't, but assuming no errors in how you are building your model, etc.) this is literally the only way your gotos can consistently be

Thanks, Brian, but no, that is not it.? I even did a factory reset just to be sure nothing was stored that was interfering in some way.? I have checked and re-checked location data -online, with my

Hi Kenn, Both my Losmandy GM8 and G11 do this even with a leveled tripod and a scope with no finders, guiders, cameras etc. just the OTA in the rings. The mounts always behave the same way and favor

I can see this has been discussed a lot here, and am going to take some time to read some of the threads on it later, but just wanted to add my voice, and could not find any discussion later than 2017

Assuming you are building a pointing model correctly, and your gotos on the same side of pier are still off, 99% of the time it's bad date/time and/or location information also the majority of the

Just a follow-up.? Two nights ago was a night from hell, like all of us have now and then.? Just could not get good pointing and tracking, despite very good seeing, and finally gave up after about 2

While I can see Astroshed's Newtonian does achieve balance in the vertical position, am I the only one who notices his focuser/eyepiece winds up in a potentially unusable position? (Basically CWD the

Dear MB, Losmandy has replacement knobs that go in place of the Allen head screws and are much easier to work with than the original altitude locks. http://store.losmandy.com/aks I have found these

Hi Kenn usually one side of the axis is "looser" than the other when balancing. for DEC you can also rotate the RA axis past parallel to the ground to loosen up the axis even more regarding improved

Hi England you have some good advice here, i'd like to offer a few more tips 1. yes you should loosen both, but just enough to move the alt adjustment. you don't want to loosen them completely 2. If

Ouch :-/ Good luck in your endeavor ;-) Cheers, Carl

Hi Ken, I have experienced similar balancing issues. If you achieve perfect balance the scope should stay still in absolutely any position you set it. For me the key to achieve that is to not only

Generally I found that the only one I need to slacken is the upper Allen bolt that runs in the machined arc (unless the lower one is tightened up really hard). If you have backlash when adjusting

England, I would loosed the bolts slightly while polar aligning and then tighten them once aligned - more than finger tight. Paul

Previously when I balanced my scope/mount I start with the DEC. I set the RA to be parallel to the ground and I usually balanced the DEC so when the front of the scope is pointing North the scope

Hello from England.?I'm a newcomer to Losmandy products. I cannot fathom the G11's 2 allen bolt altitude adjustment. Please can someone answer: * The hand knob only declines the mount head, and

Thanks Carl but maxon motors are around $300 AUD alone...!?? I would also need a machined housing.? Spent the last 2 weeks going over motor specs from many mfgrs...it's a minefield! -- Brendan

PHD2 gives me an odd graph with my GM811G HD set up. But what tells it all is my imaging results. As long as I'm getting great guiding and tracking (and I am), I don't really care what sort of hash

Steve also FYI the spring-loaded worms do not register well with the backlash measurement in PHD. If you review your actual guiding results you'll see they are quite good (i'm assuming the 1.1
