The person I bought the motors of Larry has done the Ovision upgrade on his Titan mount, as well as the Maxon motor upgrade. Larry reports a much better performance than what he got on paper from Ovision. But he needs to do further testing. I first contacted Ovision some months back and the price was a bit higher then and then i noticed the 499USD price on Losmandy users group. The knew price makes it look more ecconomical. Peter and I are eager to see the results for these and are considering the upgrade. I hope that the tune up will improve things a bit and I will test it before making any further changes. Having the Goto system now will make testing the current mount a little easier for me.

I currently have the older Steel worms, Peter has the bronze HP ones that he upgraded to on his mount. I considered them but would rather save my money and get the Ovision. I think the Ovision might make the G-11 more of a mid range mount than the "top of the bottom end". If early reports are true then we may have a mount as good as the AP or MI mounts. For the near future this is going to be my mount for some years to come. So my intention is to get the most out of it that i can.

One other thing I learned was that unlike Peters mount mine does not need the third bearing modification, this is sometimes required on older G-11 mounts. The bearings seem to be in the correct place from Factory. I belive this maybe due to the Mount being purchased via Company7 by the original owner.
