Re: Installing tucked in motors
OK, some pictures of my GM811G Dec motor for you to reference. I think I could see why you might think your motor is kitty-wampus. But if it is landing flat on the surface it sets in, I'd bet it

Hi Robert there are quite a few DD users out there :) yes you can rotate it by hand, that's fine. just make sure it's tracking otherwise you'll get smeared stars -- Brian Brian Valente

Pole master on G11 with Digital Drives
Hello everyone. I'm still using a G11 with Digital Drives for astrophotography with a Sony A7 III (the field of view with a 700 mm focal length refractor is over 2.5 degrees and the Sony live view

Re: Installing tucked in motors
This is correct on the GM8 tucked in servo motor installation for both DEC and RA. There is a plate used to tilt the drive out just enough for the servos to clear. -- Chip Louie Chief Daydreamer

Re: Installing tucked in motors
Hi Deric i should have clarified i meant only for DEC. the RA motor should go in a specific orientation as you pointed out Brian wrote:

Re: Installing tucked in motors
Hello Brian, I can see how it could interfere with The PoleMaster. But it does not interfere at all with using the Polar align scope.you cannot see any part the motor housing through the scope. On the

Re: Losmandy Mount for RASA 11?
Roger, You will love it. It is a perfect match for the 11 RASA. I know because I have both a G11 and 11 RASA. John

Re: Installing tucked in motors
Yes. Also Deric mentioned installing it 180 opposite direction, that's fine too. There's no technical reason not to do that, but I find it can interfere with the polar scope hole (and also when used

Hi guys: Quick update: I have a new G11G coming soon and I¡¯m very excited about it :) thanks for all your input!

Re: Installing tucked in motors
Ok. Brian's video shows the assembly like Glenn had it in already. That puts the motor back optical encoder detector section pointing up and out of the way of the RA polar scope axis cap. In his post,

Re: Installing tucked in motors
Can anyone send me a photo of the correct assembly of the DEC motor. It seems the only way to straighten it it to take the assembly apart to re-align the screws. ?I shouldn¡¯t have to do that.

Re: Installing tucked in motors
Hello, I attached the motors on my G11G 180¡ã to yours I tried attaching the motors like you did it seemed to be good idea to protect them better but on the RA I found that it put stress on the short
Re: Installing tucked in motors
Looks wrong to me, Glen. The motor must not bump against the body cylinder. The motor can be rotated 180 degrees, by then as you show it will be in the way of the RA polar scope viewport. That is

Installing tucked in motors
I attached the motors to my new G811G mount and noticed how the dec motor is slanted inward. This was the only way the 2 attachment screws would align. See images attached. This is unlike the ?RA

Re: G11 Spur Gear Removal to Access Gearbox
Hi Brett, Clearly you have a modern Tucked Motor G11. Earlier direct drive version G11 (I call them "Straight out motor" versions) don't have these big aluminum transfer gears. Like you said, it's not

Re: Mounting a Guide Scope to a G11 Mount
Hi Chip, My experiences appear to be quite different from my highly light polluted suburban backyard. I have the 80x400mm CT-80 and also a William Optics 50x200mm guidescope. Also I have the
G11 Spur Gear Removal to Access Gearbox
I've been chasing down some periodic resistance in my 2017 G11 drivetrain. I think I may have isolated it to the gearbox, so I'd like to remove it and pop it open to see if I can tell if there are

Re: Mounting a Guide Scope to a G11 Mount
Lots of things to play with for sure Chip! Other than the sct, I have a williams optics gt81 that is awesome. I've used both a guide scope and an OAG and at that focal length either works great. The
