Losmandy G11


Untill 2007 I used a Vixen GP-DX mount with SkySensor2000. This is a perfect mount for equipment below 10 or 11 kg equipment. To photograph more distant galaxies and smaller nebulae I needed a telecope with more aperture and more focal length, and a better mount with more load capacity. The Losmandy G11 has a maximum load capacity of 27 kg for visual use, for astrophotography between 15 and 18 kg. This picture shows the G11 with my Vixen ED102SS telescope.
