G11 kudos!

By Eugene Cross on October, 17th 2009

By far the best value mount Ive ever owned! (Thanks to Ken Lum for being my mount mentor!) Excellent performance! Sure there are even better mounts. The AP 900 can swing more. And the AP 1200 is perhaps the ultimate in a production mount. But these cost FAR more, not to mention the long wait. Anyone who loves using a transportable telescope on steady, good tracking mount should own a G11 sometime in their observing experience. Gene Cross Fremont, CA

G-11, Excellent Value.

By robert guthals on October, 17th 2009

I have used a G-11 for about one year now, excellent mount for stability and tracking. Easy to setup and use, particularly for a mount with its kind of capacity. Polar scope is highly recommended, and I would recommend the toolless knobs.

Outstanding Plateform for visual or Imaging

By James A. Edwards on October, 17th 2009

Having owned a few Fork type mounts, it wasnt very difficult to choose the Losmandy G-11. I decided on the 11 based by its quality, the weight it will handle and overall ease to use. The added accessories are also a must ( motor covers, clutch knobs and mount knobs )as they add some additional features to an already good system. For anyone looking for a solid, well made and easy to use large mount, look no further then this, the Losmandy G-11 is an outstanding plateform for visual or imaging astronomers, one I highly recommend!

Accessories Required

By Stephen Parrott on October, 17th 2009

This is an excellent mount for the money, however it does not come with a power supply - you must buy a $65 12VDC regulated supply for that. Specifically, one that accepts a cigarette lighter plug works.<p><p>I have had no troubles with the mount so far, and the axes move very smoothly.

Great!

I took a good result o this mount for astrophotography with polar align!.This is great

Price and Qualilty are Unbeatable

By James A. Edwards on October, 17th 2009

I wanted to place another review on the Losmandy G11 for 2 important reasons. The first and foremost is the quality. Never have I once been disappointed by how well this mount has performed. Now having owned 4 total, between different scope type I always come back to the G11 ( go-to or grab-in-go ). These are work-horse mounts, extremely durable and exceed the prescribed weight tolerances very easily (1 of my best viewing buddies pushes this mount to 70lbs.!!!) And as far as price, how do you do wrong? Naturally the few accessories you include raise the price, but the tri-pod knobs, clutch knobs and aluminum gear covers dress this mount off nicely. In my book this is a 10+ rated mount! Clear skies, James Edwards Elk Grove CA

G-11

By Mike Chapa on October, 17th 2009

Best value in its price range. You will probably spend a bit more adding niceties like toolless knobs, polar scope, DSC/GOTO, motor covers, etc., but nothing can touch it for the price/load. The PE is low, but still needs to be autoguided out for CCD.
