I'm sure you checked this, but was the clutch tight? Maybe it needs cleaning?

This was on my workbench with no equipment or weight to balance,

To clarify further, this was during the Goto and the SkyFi was not yet connected.

a couple things come to mind in addition to the advice you got one is good balance - and make sure the weight has an eastern bias another is it could be taking up backlash in RA (especially if it's

No - this was noticed before proceeding to connect the SkyFi device. This was observed during the GoTo bright star.

Hi Tom Are you saying this is a problem when you use SkyFi or just when you do any sort of slewing i.e., the hand controller? if you aren't sure, it would be good to confirm how well this works with

I'm looking for advice on where to start trouble shooting my RA drive issue. I have a vintage G11 mount that I updated with the Gemini II GoTo system about a year ago. This past week I set it up on my

Hi Greg, The CRC brake and caliper grease has added anticorrosion chemicals so the MolyDisulphide does not (through some chemical reaction) react and corrode the brass worm. I'm not sure if your older

Michael, I have a can of Molykote G that I used to use for brake jobs on my performance german sedan... back from the days it was made by Dow-corning. Its taken me decades to make much of a dent in

I must question my own statement.... "In both cases you will need a special narrow 4 pin phone jack to get your laptop PC to talk to the Serial Port (marked "RS232" on the Gemini-1) to your laptop. "

So I’m confused on the type of cable. (I have a USB3 cable from my ASI 174 to my laptop) The Gemini 1 controller has a RJ11 port for Autoguide. Do I need an RJ11 to usb to go from that port to my

I heard about Nye Fluorocarbon Gel 868H, but it seems very costly. CRC grease looks like a very good option - cheap and no mixing.

Hi Jim, There are several sources of backlash. I'd list them as:. 1. Worm side movement along it's axis 2. Worm gap to it's ring gear 3. Other drive gears or Oldham coupler looseness. #2 is helped by

I use a toothbrush with detergent and hot water to remove old grease. Of course, this requires disassembly of the mount, but it is super easy to do this with Losmandy mounts. What people are using for

Peter, I had heard about the hanging weight many years ago but I avoided using that for silly cosmetic reasons (my own vanity...thinking about the beauty of the mount and not on ultimate performance)

Thanks all. I did balance the system by moving the ALT to 0.? The RA axis did move more freely and a good balance was achieved. I took the system out over two nights last week and it performed very
