Losmandy G11 and Gemini
"Go-To" drive
The mount sits on a sturdy steel-tube tripod from a Vixen Atlux mount.
For quicker setup, the Losmandy has a polar finder scope for the southern
sky. Thorough instructions are provided.
For instrument mounting, the declination axis holds a sturdy aluminium
plate on a Losmandy dovetail, making it possible to mount two telescopes
in parallel.
At Tivoli, three telescopes are available for use with this mount:
• Celestron C8 Schmidt-Cassegrain
• Vixen 200mm f.4 Newtonian telescope with coma corrector
• Achromatic 150mm f.5 refractor
These three telescopes can (pending availability) be used in any combination.
The dovetailing parts can be moved in parallel, so that two telescopes
can always be brought into perfect equilibrium.
Mounting your own instruments is also possible, provided they are
attached to a Baader Type III dovetail track.
You`ll find more information at the Baader
website.
