Ray,? Once I clean and regrease the unit I will do another run and slew the mount again after the OFF run. I just ran the ON session straight after the initial OFF session without a slew - seems odd

Good catch, Ray! I didn't notice that in the logs, but for sure, that's the worst place to measure PE. Celestial equator near the meridian would be a much better start :)

Hi Jesse, My second G11 is a refurbed 1997 era mount with the OnStep conversion. Since yours is even older I would recommend replacing all bearings and thrust washers, even the needle bearings inside.

Hi Ken, From your PEC ON log file: # Declination # 89.9472 The PEC ON log file shows that the mount's Declination was 89.9472, close to the celestial pole. This is a terrible place to measure periodic

Good Evening! New to the group but not to Losmandy. I am looking into the G11T to mount my Meade 14 inch SCT (the non-ACF version) for both imaging and visual. I am going to guess around 70 pounds

Fantastic!! Thank you so much. What an awesome set of modifications

This group has a limit of 1GB of photos and attachments storage. When folks upload new images or send large attachments (sometimes large movies!), older attachments are removed to make space for new

Hi Avi - Hmmm.? ?Yeah, I dont see the original images here either now. I'm not sure Ive got everything duplicated at cloudy nights, but this should be enough to give you an idea:

Looks like attachments and pictures disappear after a certain period of time. I would love to see the original attachments in these posts....is there a way to see them ? Thanks! Avi

Hi Paul, Thanks for the suggestions and I have ordered the clean/regrease kit from Losmandy to do some clean up work. I also adjusted the backlash on the Dec sprung worm gear to see if will clean

A quick and easy fix for the alignment of the two-piece worm blocks is to get a piece of AL angle iron (about 3/4 to 1 inch on a side and check it for flatness on one exterior surface with a good

Welcome to the club.? Not quite the full package Losmandy G11 mount close enough. The best couplers to use here are a constant velocity type coupler that is designed to be used with some axial and

I've been looking to pick up an older G11 for a few years, with the idea to mount it on a permanent pier in my yard. I'm moving to a new house with hopefully darker skies, so now was the time. I asked

Hi Ken, The PEMPro ON data appears to show a fairly large reduction in periodic error. There's a bit of a rotation error in the data, which may mean the PEMPro calibration wasn't as good as it could

Hi, I had cause to redo my G11G (with all latest firmware) PEC training and my OFF/ON PemPro logs seem to indicate the PEC training was a success. The only problem is that my PHD2 Guiding Assistant

Hi Kenn, The trade name the Super Lube folks use for Teflon (PTFE) is Syncolon.? This used to be harder to find but now the stuff is even at Ace Hardware stores. Here is a link to the product page

Most Excellent...............I really appreciate your response and guidance. Kenn

Old thread but hoping someone has picked up one of these commercial piers and could rate them. SkyShed is ~1/3rd the price of ATS. Maybe it is a steel vs aluminum cost decision. Thanks, Ken
