How about changing the battery in the Gemini2 box?? joe

Hello Jim, It is my belief that yes you will be pushing the mount, the G11G,? you could be taxing the G11T also though not as bad.? I'm assuming that there is a dew shield involved too.? Either

I have a prospective buyer for my G11G w/ LW tripod. They know that the tripod will have to be upgraded to the heavy-duty tripod. They plan to do DSO and planetary imaging with a 12” Meade SCT.

I wonder if this could be what is causing my jerky RA guiding.? Thinking that loose clutches might be the problem, I tightened them down pretty tight.

This may be one of the messages we really need to get out -- that the clutches are not meant to be fully tightened, and what you should do is see how little tightening is sufficient to keep them from

Our weather degraded significantly since I last wrote.? In fact the blizzard Friday shut down like 150 miles of the interstate.? It has been cloudy and now we have an artic blast headed this way so

So?? What happened?? Did you find the issue?? Keep us posted. -- Chip Louie Chief Daydreamer Imagination Hardware Astrospheric Forecast - South Pasadena, CA (

Are you using the same cord when switching power supplies? Short might be in cord. The LittleFuse 452-454 (Fuse F1) is just to the right of the power connectors but would not short the power supply

Hi Avi, The locks never absolutely grip things down with

Hi Derek, That makes sense. Thanks for pointing that out Avi

Dear John I just separated the RA and Dec axes and disassemble the RA assembly (remove spacer, wavy washer, 3 piece thrust bearing and finally the RA shaft). Everything checks out. The clutch pad

It's not supposed to "fully" lock!.. I have Michael Herman's high friction clutch discs and a perfectly working G11 and with enough force, it'll move.. It doesn't take much force on the knobs to

Not much I can say except send it for repair with motors, cables and HC. ?Hard to say what the issue is atm but in general they can be repaired cheers -- Brendan

Yesterday I was balancing my 2008 Losmandy G11, Gemini-1 using servo-motor current draw to fine tune the balance. At one point I used the hand controller to move the telescope to point at the

Hi John I will take a look right now and report back. Thanks. Avi

Avi, Chances are your clutch discs are very oil and/or severely worn. You will need to unscrew the clutch locks all the way off and pull the shaft up and out of the mount to inspect. Remember the

The clutches are just that.... friction clutches.? If any grease has made it onto the friction surfaces (and it will) they cannot be "locked".? NOR SHOULD THEY.? The more you tighten the clutches

Hi Paul This is super valuable. I will try to take a video tomorrow and share it but based on what you are saying I think the mount is functioning normally. The clutches do hold the telescope. But

Avi, It is difficult to judge without seeing what you are doing. You should always be reasonably balanced, the clutches are not designed to hold an unbalanced setup. You should not tighten the
