Losmandy publishes an instrument capacity of 60 lb for imaging and 75 lb for visual use, on a 33 lb equatorial head. Both axes run 5.625-inch, 360-tooth worm gears machined from 7075 aluminium, and Losmandy rates uncorrected tracking at ±5 arcseconds or better, with corrected periodic error often at ±2.5 arcseconds or better. This example ships with Level 6 firmware and the servo upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match if you image with a substantial refractor, astrograph or SCT and want a mount whose capacity is not the limiting factor in the setup. A 60 lb imaging rating leaves genuine headroom once camera, filter wheel, guider and cabling are attached. It suits a permanent pier or an observatory as readily as a regularly transported rig, and it suits an observer who would rather own one mount for a long time than step up through several.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e60 lb imaging \/ 75 lb visual instrument capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e on a 33 lb equatorial head.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5.625-inch, 360-tooth 7075 aluminium worm gears on both axes\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same large gear on RA and DEC rather than a smaller DEC gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-supported, ball-bearing-housed ground high-precision brass worm\u003c\/strong\u003e on both axes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e±5 arcsecond or better uncorrected tracking,\u003c\/strong\u003e with corrected periodic error often at ±2.5 arcseconds or better.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in permanent periodic error correction\u003c\/strong\u003e — the correction is stored in the mount rather than re-trained each session.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGemini 2 GOTO:\u003c\/strong\u003e a DC servo motor based computerised positioning system, with GOTO accuracy published at up to half an arcminute.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupports altitudes from 0° to 68°,\u003c\/strong\u003e covering equatorial through high-latitude sites.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuns on 12–18 V DC.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevel 6 firmware and servo upgrade included\u003c\/strong\u003e on this configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe defining figure on the G11G is that both axes carry the same 5.625-inch, 360-tooth worm gear. A larger gear turns more slowly for a given tracking rate, which reduces the angular contribution of any single tooth error — that is the mechanical reason behind the published ±5 arcsecond uncorrected figure. The worm itself is a ground high-precision brass component, dual supported and housed in ball bearings at both ends rather than cantilevered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeriodic error correction is built in permanently, so the mount carries its own correction rather than relying on a session-by-session training run. Losmandy's own sample frame for this mount is a 300-second unguided hydrogen-alpha exposure at 840 mm focal length with 3.8 µm pixels, taken with a Sky-Watcher 120ED Esprit and a ZWO ASI1600MM monochrome camera, unguided and with no periodic error correction applied, under Bortle 9+ skies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong-exposure deep-sky imaging with a heavy refractor, astrograph or SCT plus a full imaging train.
