(Reduced again) Losmandy GM8

Losmandy GM8S.
Less than eight months old and in as new condition.
Would only have been used a dozen times.

Includes GM8 Mount,
LW folding field tripod,
492 Digital Drive,
Counterweight shaft and 7lb counterweight.

Also includes an extra 7lb CW and Losmandy tripod metal tray.

More details here: http://www.losmandy.com/gm8.html

Nice combination of quality construction and portability.
I really like the slip clutch design on this mount.
Just push to where you want to go and tracking continues.
Tracking motors are virtually silent.

Cost me about $2600

Asking $1600.

Also prepared to sell without the FW field tripod/tray for $1300.

Prefer local pick up, Dee Why, 2099, but I have original boxes so could ship at buyers expense.

PM me,
gb.

Hi GB,

Would you know if the Gemini GoTo can be fitted to the G8 mount? I have a spare Gemini 1 system including servo motors. I looked up Losmandy's website and it seems it would however I thought you may be more definitive.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Steve.

I always assumed it was pretty easy so hope Darren is right.

As far as I know the servo motors just replace the stepper ones:

and encoder installation is explained at the bottom of this document:
