Re: Strange issues with PHD2 with Losmandy G11/g2
Hi Phil I think the warning is that Dec could not move enough in south direction. It successfully calibrated if you could guide after that. If you have a guidelog to post i'm happy to look at it

Re: G11G DEC balance advice
Good to know, thanks! All my prior experience is with the CPC1100 alt-az mount (which I deforked for this); moving to an EQ mount is a learning experience, in a good way!

G11G DEC balance advice
New G11G user here. Been setting up my new mount, and have run into what seems like a strangeness in balancing in DEC. Watched the video, and balancing in RA was easy. Now I'm at the point where I've
