Hi Striker

A couple of things, how old is your G-11, if it is new you should have the High Precision Worm which was introduced a couple of years ago, how is your balance, it is critical with Losmandy mounts, as mentioned in a previous post, is your worm adjusted properly, I can send you articles on how to adjust it properly using feeler guages. If you feel it is definately PEC then it will either be balance or worm adjustment. You have to get the worm tight enough so it dosn't bind, you check this by moving it by hand for a full rotation, you will feel the tight spots, you have to balance the tightening with the backlash.

With your Gemini, what version are you running, there is a bug in the current Level 3, V1.13 concerning training PEC, it is well documented on the Gemini Users Group. Most users have given up trying to train PEC and are now waiting for the release of Level 4 which is now in advanced beta, the problem of PEC has, apparently been addresseed together with a number of other bugs.

If you aren't a member of the Yahoo Losmandy and Gemini Users Groups, I would join, the archives of those groups have a lot of info.

Hope this helps a little
