Products description

Losmandy mount GM8G Gemini 2 GoTo LW tripod

 

 

This Losmandy mount not only has an elegant external finish, its interior also consists of precisely machined aluminum and stainless steel components. Adjustable slip clutches in both axes make handling and navigation in the sky easier. Because you don't have to blindly search for clamping levers at night - the mount stays where you want it.

The GM8 mount is extremely compact, transportable and only weighs around 11kg. Nevertheless, it carries instruments up to 15kg. This makes the GM8 well suited for most “amateur optics”. For example, place a 20cm f/5 Newton or a 10 inch Schmidt-Cassegrain on the wide 3-inch saddle plate. Then there is still enough capacity for a guide tube.

The mount is equipped with the GoTo system Gemini 2:

    The colored touchscreen clearly guides you through the menu in four pre-selectable languages: English, German, French and Spanish
    On the back of the hand control box there are four raised buttons for manual movement of the axes. This means you can move the telescope sensitively with your eye on the eyepiece or computer screen without using the touchscreen.
    Database with over 40,000 objects
    DC servo motors, instead of less precise stepper motors
    GPS compatible with optional receiver (see accessory recommendation)
    Saves the last setting even after switching off">Losmandy mounts have long enjoyed an outstanding reputation. They are characterized by precise control and a lot of love for mechanics.

Our expert comment:

The Gemini 2 computer now includes "Level 6".

(Jan Ströher)">The positioning accuracy of 0.5 arcseconds is a welcome relief for astrophotographers. The Periodic Error Correction (PEC) compensation compensates for inaccuracies and allows you to achieve precision that meets modern astrophotography. Are you planning astrophotography with an autoguiding camera? That is also possible. You connect your camera via an autoguiding port (TTL). The control also has two USB ports. Without any further driver problems, connect the mount to the PC and control it via a planetarium program. Thanks to the firmware update via the Internet, you always stay up to date.
