It's OK, Kevin. I leave my tripod out and covered. But everything else comes in out of the heat of summer. So nothing electrical is outside in the heat. Beyond the heat stressing the lubricants,

Sorry to revive a dead topic, but it isn't worth making a brand new one for a comment. I have left my G11T out (sans electronics) with a mylar cover on my deck since early June and I went out today

Surprised they are still that price. I know aluminum is not 76 cents a pound anymore. The 1.5" aluminum round stock must run about $10. But I wouldn't bother to make my own at that price and I'm

The breed is a Dog. Certainly not a cat. My guess would be a large Terrior Breed. Airdale perhaps? I love dogs! Dogs are never mad at you, they are always overjoyed when you return, and loyal to their

Yea Chip what I do is I adjust the worm outside then do a full 180 on RA and DEC and if it binds up somewhere I'll readjust it right there.? Pretty simple. Also my worms were bone dry, I sprayed

I definitely plan to watch it, Brian. There is a lot left to learn!

Arun that's great to hear has become very reliable that's really the goal, right? that guiding is no longer the constraining factor I think you may still find some things i'll be covering to be of

Thanks to all the great discussion in this group, I am happy to state that I am well under that. Not so long ago, 0.8” RMS was a great night. Now, I continually achieve 0.65” RMS. The last few

Hi everyone, we are doing another online presentation, this time with tips and approaches to achieve <1" performance. It is part of Woodland Hills Camera & Telescope presentations July

Hmm happens with both ring gears...both RA and DEC axes? Then...that is a very strange puzzle. I can't conceive of the cause of such a severe problem on one let alone 2 axes. Definitely worth
