Losmandy G11 RA Extension Kit

This kit physically extends the Right Ascension axis of your G11 mount. It provides extra clearance, which is particularly useful if you are using longer telescope tubes or heavy imaging setups that might otherwise collide with the mount housing during tracking.

The kit is specifically engineered for the Losmandy G11 equatorial mount. While it integrates seamlessly with the standard G11 design, it is always best to verify your specific mount's production year or revision if you have a significantly older model.

No, the kit is designed to maintain the structural integrity of your mount. When installed correctly, it ensures the same stable and reliable performance you expect from the G11, without introducing unwanted flexure or vibration.

The installation is straightforward, but it does require basic mechanical aptitude and the standard set of hex keys typically used for telescope equipment. You are essentially disassembling a portion of the RA axis to insert the extension, so ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace.

While the specifications note compatibility with reflectors, the primary function of the extension is to provide clearance for the mount itself. If you use a refractor or a catadioptric telescope that is long enough to cause clearance issues, this kit will provide the same benefit.
