Explore Scientific-Losmandy G-11 ES Mount

Post by kochu »

Losmandy G 11 is going to get a new life.

Explore scientific has paired with G-11 and provides its own Open ended Goto soft ware (PMC-Eight) driving Stepper motors , instead of Current Servomotors.
Since the Software is open the scope for improvement is good. May be one day EQMOD can be adapted to drive G11.

It runs on windows and has wireless capabilities .

From the photo it looks like the RA shaft is the extended version

Good news...

If the PMC8 is (significantly) cheaper than the Gemini 2, it will have many customers.

Or maybe Losmandy has gotten fed up with being dependent on Rene Goerlich for a critical portion of their mount.
