Feeding a Losmandy G-11

Posted By J Keith Hurt

I just bought a G-11 with Goto here on Amart.
I have read that the motors are happier on 18v.
I have a 12v 30amp dc supply that outputs 13.8v unloaded.
Will this be good enough?
I really don't want to spend anymore $$$ right now! I'm in the middle of my Observatory construction.
Thanks Keith

Delete and Repost

Posted By J Keith Hurt

Has anyone but me noticed that certain individuals delete their ad and repost it when it starts to move down the list- Why is this tolerated??, I would assume its not supposed to be done??

Mount Recommendation? Stellarvue or UA?

Posted By J Keith Hurt

Have you considered the Astrotech voyager?
It has a fairly high weight capacity 20#s
I have one and like it alot.
You would be able to balance it out for any eye pc(you may have to slide the scope back and forth a bit if you switch between a small plossel and a heavy WFOV)
Edit- I forgot to mention its pretty light and portable!
