Analysis of the Losmandy G11 Mount
Written by John Huggins
Analysis and techniques by Michael Wyrick

After receipt of a used G11 mount with a Meade 10 inch SCT, Michael proceeded with his ambitions of improved CCD imaging over his previous setup. However, Mike's images seemed to contain artifacts which kept him from attaining pin point star images. What follows is several steps which yielded a much smoother scope.

  1. The problem.
  2. Mount Analysis
  3. Gear Cleanup
  4. Gear Replacement
  5. Post Clean Up Mount Analysis
  6. Victory
