Re: What to ask/check when buying a used G11?

Re: Mounting a Guide Scope to a G11 Mount

Re: Mounting a Guide Scope to a G11 Mount
Mearl, I have the Agena version of that same scope and also the ASI290. I have never been happy with the size of the stars. Initially they looked awful. Adding a UV/IR filter helped some and adding a
