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 GM-8 mount. I've been told that the universal dovetail plate doesn't match up to the MK66 and has to have minor

GM100
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: 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. I have not tried the

Does anyone know the exact size of the supplied nylon washer? I guess I can find out by taking the head apart, but would rather see if anyone knows. Thanks, Milton <snightingale40@h...>

Re: Recent 4" Tak Images from last weekend at ARGO
Tom, After another night fine tuning my G11 I still have not achieved your guiding error rate. So I'll keep trying. :-) Two more questions: Do you use the King tracking rate? Do you find that

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. If you have noticed that these bearings

Re: GM-8 question
Hi Jack, From my limited understanding, the GM-8 is a fine mount for the C9.25. David Silva uses exactly this setup, and is quite happy. Robert.
