Losmandy G11 Gemini 2

For sale is my excellent condition Losmandy G11 Gemini 2 with lots of upgrades and extras. This is such a beautiful mount, and extremely good guiding and GOTO performance, the premium quality is obvious as soon as you start using it.

I’ve used it for visual, eaa and both planetary and dso photography, and it’s performed really well for anything I’ve asked of it. It’s had no problem guiding my 10” Meade SCT at around 0.6”RMS unless the conditions were bad.

Load capacity is apparently over 30kg, but I’m pretty sure it could handle a bit more than that for visual. The Gemini2 system is extremely smart and with so many handy features too like real-time analysis on balance / motor performance which really helps to get the most out of it.

Sale Including:
• Losmandy G11 Mount
• Folding HD tripod with height extension to allow tracking well past the meridian
• 21lb counter weight
• Gemini 2 GOTO system with all cables
• Glowing rubber anti-vibration feet
• Voltage step up regulator to provide 18V (recommended voltage)
• Custom travel/storage cases for RA and DEC blocks
• Hard plastic travel/storage case for tripod

As well as pretty much all of the current available upgrades:
• tucked in motors
• spring loaded worm gears
• one piece worm block
• RA Extension Kit
• “wavy washer upgrade” for easier balancing
• Upgraded RA & DEC adjustment knobs (no need for allen key)
• Upgraded tripod leg adjustment levers


It’s only about 5yrs old and still looking and working beautifully, but now I’m spending more time with the c14 I think the eq8 is a bit more suited and as much as I try to convince myself I need a backup mount, I really need the cash more…

Asking $3,900 - under 50% of new price for all of the above. While I feel this is quite reasonable given its condition, I’m happy to consider offers.

I will certainly prefer local Sydney pickup, but as all the components come with travel cases, I can drop it off at the local pack n send if you wanted to organise and pay shipping.

Cheers and thanks for looking.
Dave
