Re: Askar 185 APO scope on a G11T will it work good
I'd say it's at the limit depending on how it's equipped for AP. That applies to the length, too add the RF, whatever back focuser tube(s) are needed, filter wheel and camera and 55" is easily

Re: Maximum MicroSD Size Gemini 2
AFAIK the Gemini 2 requires FAT32 formatted micro SD cards. FAT32 is a single 32GB partition. You can use larger capacity media but Windows cannot natively access more than 32GB and has a 4GB file

I apologize, this question does not deal with weight, this scope is less than half the mounts capacity.? My question deals with 40 pounds at 48 inches long.? I realize this scope is new and I intend

Re: Askar 185 APO scope on a G11T will it work good
Hi Joe, The mount side of things I would not worry about. Your G11T should handle the weight. My concern would be what quality you might be getting for a new scope not yet on the market. The specs

I¡¯d suggest that the G11 would be quite adequate to the task and that a G11T or ¡°full fat¡± Titan would be more than ¡°man enough¡± for that ¡®frac. Wish I had your budget¡ David Sent: 23

Thanks Brendan. I think the original one in my Gemini II is only 2gb! The one Losmandy sent was 8gb and contains about 100mb of data. I my understanding is that various upgrades will be much

Re: Maximum MicroSD Size Gemini 2
Really not sure I have used 32Gb just fine in HC and MU. ? ?As these were cheaper and easier to obtain than trying to get 4 to 8 Gb cards. But that is overkill, 4 Gb should be plenty. Gemini FAQs

Re: Balancing Scope
Only trouble with this solution is that by design, the weight has to be offset from the DEC center of rotation because that is where the saddle is.? As a result, adjusting the 3rd axis also affects

Re: Balancing Scope
ADM offers a dovetail counterweight that can solve 3rd-axis imbalance. It clamps to the bottom of a Vixen or Losmandy dovetail, so requires a long dovetail bar to work. It isn't cheap ($89) but what
