Star trail of Losmandy G11 showing periodic error. Not bad, not great. (taken with ST7 on an FS128). 14 arc seconds peak to peak. Looks like you could probably guide this one out. Certainly no one is surprised to see a generic G11, vintage 2000, clock in at 14 arc seconds peak to peak. This is spot-on typical.

Worm upgrade on Losmandy G11. Set up the same as before (FS128, ST7, stars near celestial equator, mount deliberately throne out of polar alignment).

What do you estimate the PE to be? (the numbers are still being crunched so your guess is as good as mine).

Details on Losmandy Yahoo!
