Unable to fully tighten dec axis on GM811G
I am unable to fully tighten the dec axis clutch on my GM811G. There's a quarter-inch play in either direction when the clutch is tightened down. Does anyone have a similar problem and is there a fix?

Re: Duda sobre g11.
La G11T es una opcion real no cabe duda que ella si lo podria soportar con eficacia. Cierto es que el telescopio, mas guia y camaras se va de peso para fotografia. Es complicado elegir la montura, lo

Re: Manual for the on 492 Digital Drive controller?
David, et al, I share your preference for PDF. But for future reference, it is easy to capture the HTML by copying and pasting into Word (or just about any text editor). You can then save as a PDF or

Re: Manual for the on 492 Digital Drive controller?
Paul, Yes that does it, thank you - however a very kind soul sent me a scan of the original Celestron CG11 manual (I prefer PDF on my local machine to html . Thanks again Yamada San for the scan.

Re: Spikes!
Hi! Maybe, just maybe, you have the same spikes as I have, Jamie. See the attached guide-log. First run is interestingly enough without spikes, 2nd and 3rd have spikes, all in the same direction (I

Re: More looking at brass reactions to CRC MolyD lube
Good to know, Michael. The brass worms may wear over time, as they are softer than the ring gears, but at least they won't be corroding as well:). My original RA brass worm seems to have an slight

Re: Duda sobre g11.
Hello David, You have a pretty big telescope and you must be an astrophotographer considering the specifications. As Brendan said, after adding accessories, you are getting pretty heavy, and might be

Re: Scope Location and NINA
Keith, I think the discussion was regarding time and latitude/longitude settings. These can be set from the driver. Custom site can also be selected from the driver. Either one can be set to update

Hi Keith, I'm not an AP owner ... so my info on this subject comes 2nd hand. If you are in that forum you may have a better finger on the pulse of this riddle. My research on this topic showed some

Re: Yup its the 75 second cycle
Henk, The bearings are pretty inexpensive, about $10 (US). Since the 76 second error is related to the bearings, new will be best. Old bearings could have wear spots or may have been slightly warped

Note that as per the Gemini.net documentation, one can't configure site info in the driver: "Note: It is not possible to configure the preprogrammed sites via the driver; this must be done via the

Re: More looking at brass reactions to CRC MolyD lube
Perhaps it's worth asking Roland in the AP forum as to from where his recommendation stems - surely he must have done some experimentation or has seen evidence of this? Keith

Re: Yup its the 75 second cycle
Nice work, gang! Henk has got a really good system to investigate. That is, he can clearly see the RA periods and therefore his experiments to reduce them are possible. When he finds a solution

Re: Yup its the 75 second cycle
There is actually another option, namely to stack every 10 seconds and use no PEC or autoguiding at all.? That way the errors will never exceed the errors in a 10 second interval.? The technology is

Thanks Ian, that's good to know.? I think the inner block was misaligned because I had to make the flex couplers of my stepper fit, and those have some stiffness while the motor and worm were not
