Re: Mount sales must be doing great, glad I already ordered!

Re: New G11G and bad guiding first night: Need advice for gathering data tonight.
76 second periodic error is a very common problem on these mounts.? It's due to the RA worm bearings being mis-aligned.? Michael Herman has a fix for this, which is to install belleville washers and

Re: Mount sales must be doing great, glad I already ordered!
Looks nice, Jason. Beautiful scope. You made a very big investment in great equipment. To balance most easily, power on your Gemini-2. Set the tracking rate to Terrestrial (none). Use the Gemini to

Re: Steel worms. Should I change them?
Pete that's great to do that - if possible i'd recommend doing that using PHD's guiding assistant. 30-45 minutes of data should be enough to characterize your mount performance Please do it at

Re: New G11G and bad guiding first night: Need advice for gathering data tonight.
Hi David My suggestion is you do a baseline guiding to get enough of the right amount of data so we can see what's going on and get you going. This is also a good guide for how to calibrate your

Need advice selling my Losmandy G11 492 Digital Drive
I am selling my entire Losmandy G11 492 (non-GOTO). I am the original owner and used it about 40 nights 2011 - 2013. Since then it has been rarely used due to a move to cloudy skies and no backyard.
