Thanks Chris That's interesting...seems an ideal solution. Is the Gemini about the best goto for astrophotography or does the G11 take something better? ... on...
I have a 10" Meade SCT f6.3 on a AP600GTO and it is all you could ask for! Smooth! I had an LX200 and I loved it, but this is a whole new ball game! Ugly Dog ...
Last chance, I'm down to the last five of these reducers. Buy it on ebay, auction number 3813918435. Check out the test done by Larry Laffoon here: ...
I am also interested in this. Would Gemini work with Cartes du Ceil or can it interface directly with the existing tracking motors? I'm pondering hooking in...
The Gemini is a very good GOTO system but there are others that can be fitted to the G-11 as well and since I have not been able to try them all I can't say...
I don't know about interoperability with Cartes du Ceil. It will work with any program that can talk to scopes using the Meade LX-200 command set. I presume...
Hi, I gave my brother my ETX90, and he is enjoying it a great deal. He is interested in doing a bit of imaging, but cannot afford a dedicated astronomy...
AF, if this is the OTA from the LXD55 series of telescope, then it is very possible that this is a new OTA. You can join the LXD55 group here on Yahoo, and get...

Hi John, I would question the ability of the G11 to support a 14" SCT for imaging purposes. I have a CI-700 Celestron mount which is a G11 clone. Some may...
