Astrophotography Fit

A general-purpose GoTo mount that should be chosen by realistic imaging payload, not headline capacity alone.

Losmandy GM811G Computerized Goto Equatorial Mount is a premium GoTo equatorial mount for computerized tracking and guiding.

For long-exposure astrophotography, use a conservative imaging payload. The telescope, camera, guide hardware, dew heaters, dovetails, and cables all count, and guiding performance matters more than the catalog payload number.

Best paired with

  • Autoguided refractors or corrected reflectors within conservative payload limits
  • Stable tripod or pier and balanced counterweights
  • Computer or hand-controller workflow with good polar alignment

Not recommended for

  • Payloads at the rated maximum for imaging
  • Users who need an airline-portable rig above all else
  • Long focal length work without guiding and careful balance
