Same with me. Paul

Brendan, those links only take you to a Google search page. On my computer anyways. Just in cast somebody else wants to see what they look like. Like me. Greg S.

Hi Norm Bill Gardner is correct. On later mounts a altitude lock bolt was added. Does you mount have this? Here's a pic with the older Celestron G11 single altitude bolt

I have a G8 from about the same vintage, so there are similarities. If I understand from your post, you are seeing the fact that the mount doesn't lock in altitude. This is the same behaviour as line

I noticed that earlier but let it go thinking my issue was somewhere else. I'm going to tear apart the mount tomorrow morning when I get the chance. Thanks for the tip, and I'll keep you all

Hi Don, That looks like what I did earlier today. I ended up getting some pretty good results tonight, so I'm a little less concerned about my previous issue. Thanks for the link! -

Hi Norm, This problem is probably caused by there being too much movement in the screw shaft due to a grub screw coming loose. I don't have a CG11 mount but I think the G11 is identical

Norm, Here's an webpage in Italian that shows complete disassembly of G11 mount. You my need to translate. This link is a Chrome translated

Hi Everybody, Ive been a long time lurker of this forum, but I come to you today with a question. My Celestron branded G-11 rocks back and forth in altitude by 1 notch on the altitude

Posted a picture of the level I was discussing a while back. The mounting holes are pretty shallow, hence the washers to take up slack. At present the commercial bubble level is attached to the

WOW!!! My rig only weighs 13lbs. lol

With the observatory below -20C, and plenty of wind to make it even better, I was wondering... I have electric heat tapes on my water pipes to keep the lines just above freezing. Has anyone wrapped

Hi Chip, My G-11 was brand new from the factory in Sept. Maybe the design is a little different, but if you separate the RA on mine there was a groove around the shaft that the wavy washer sits in. It

Thanks for that nicely done experiment and report on temperature effects. Now I know the likely cause of my own CG11 viscous motion in both axes. As you say, why strain the motors needlessly. I think

Well, it was the original grease...as far as I can tell. My GM-8 has always been easy to move, but it got stiff and started having trouble tracking when the temp got close to freezing a few weeks

Hi Chip, You are great in 1,000 ways... why its such a nice friendship. It's nice and frosty here...snow everywhere. The high can be 15F one day and the low... negative numbers. The next day the

sormborger, That's strange to me. My G11 at the moment has a Losmandy Side-By-Side with double D saddles in the main saddle. The SBS has a 21 lb and 3 x 11 lb Losmandy counterweights on the end of

Yes, my RA axis won't balance accurately the conventional way so by using the worm slop perfect balance can be achieved. I learned it from someone else posting this here some time ago. It made

Thanks Chip. I got the GM8 working quite smoothly. How it actually guides is yet to be seen. The G11 in question used an Ovision worm in RA and a stock (ie not high precision) worm in DEC. So
