Secondary system question please: already own a DM10 plate for the
G-11, but would like to use it for double duty with 6" A-P rings.

Mounting an Intes MK66 on a GM-8
I've recently ordered an Intes MK66 Mak-Cass scope and hope to mount it on a

Hi Karl,
It's good to hear from another GM100 owner. How do you find the tracking
accuracy of your mount? Any tricks that have improved it? Any tricks to
improve (remove slop from) the DEC tangent

Re: GM-8 question
I thought someone would pick up on that; and if I remember correctly
someone posted that they thought that Scott was not too impressed
about the teflon fix in general.
I wonder if he has since

PEC and autoguiding [was: Recent 4" Tak Images]
Years ago, I was a subscriber to the APML list. Most folks there suggested
that I leave PEC turned off when autoguiding- let the autoguider take care
of all corrections. That's how I currently use my

Re: G11 stiction fix
Milton,
I think it's 3.5" OD by 1.25" ID and .031 thick. Not quite sure about OD but it did measure it and

Re: Recent 4" Tak Images from last weekend at ARGO
Hi Greg,
I do not use the King tracking rate. My impression was it works for
low to the horizon shots. Since I do not have a complete understanding
of it, I have never tried it.

So I'll keep trying. :-)

Re: HGM-200 Stiction
Hi Gil, The very first day I had my HGM-200 mount, I immediately knew
it needed lubing.
As you mention, the RA bearings are easy to inspect, and re-lube.

Re: GM-8 question
Hi Jack,
From my limited understanding, the GM-8 is a fine mount for the C9.25.
