Losmandy G11 with Gemini 2 Equatorial Mount

I purchased the venerable Losmandy G11 after owning the Skywatcher NEQ6 Pro. I assumed that it would be an upgrade, boy was I wrong. Losmandy had only just moved to the 'Gemini 2' control system and I found myself in a never ending cycle of software and firmware updates. I understand that Losmandy eventually got it right, but I purchased the mount to take photos, not to 'flash' with software all week long!

One feature that I did love about Gemini 2 was ethernet/RJ45 input for mount control.

While the black CNC'd mount itself is very well built, these things run on software. Time for another upgrade...
