Re: Mount sales must be doing great, glad I already ordered!
Thanks Michael.? I did something similar while inside, but didn't set it to terrestrial. But on pierwest, I couldn't get the RA duty below 30% (piereast was 3-6%).? I tried terrestrial last night

Re: DIY Spring Loaded Worms for the G11

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: Need advice selling my Losmandy G11 492 Digital Drive
I much prefer cloudynights over astromart. Amongst other reasons, CN doesn¡¯t require buyers to pay for a subscription (they don¡¯t charge sellers, either), and I don¡¯t much like many of A-M¡¯s

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

Re: Need advice selling my Losmandy G11 492 Digital Drive
Astromart is a lot different from ebay.? I have had several problems on ebay and once I have started an ebay dispute, I have never lost a case yet. I have found Astromart to be a good place to buy

Re: Steel worms. Should I change them?

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.
