The Explore Scientific G-11 Upgrade Kit allows the owner of a Losmandy G-11 to upgrade to the ExploreScientific/Losmandy G-11 with PMC-Eight GoTo System, allowing the G-11 to be controlled by any ASCOM-compatible software. This upgrade can be applied to any Losmandy G-11, be it an older or current model, whether it has the Gemini system - INCLUDING non-motorized versions. To learn more about the features of the updated G-11, read the Explore Scientific/Losmandy G-11 product brief with PMC-Eight GoTo System.

Note that before installing the PMC eight systems, you must install a groove on each of the G11's engine plates. This slight mechanical change can be carried out by almost any mechanic workshop. Please refer to the Installation Guide for more information. The conversion and installation are always a matter for the consumer.

The hardware components included in this upgrade include two stepper motors with motor housing, two flex couplings for direct connection to the worm shafts, the Losmandy G11 RA axle extension (the 0.6" saddle plate extension is not required in our setup), a PMC eight controller, a holder for the PMC eight controller, two high-quality serial motor cables, One power supply and free Explore Scientific™ ExploreStars software via download.

A Losmandy G-11, upgraded with the Explore Scientific G-11 Upgrade Kit, can be controlled by any ASCOM-compatible software or ExploreStars. The ExploreStars app and ASCOM driver are provided free of charge by Explore Scientific. Regardless of which software is used, communication with the PMC eight can be done either via cable connection or wirelessly via WiFi. In addition, Explore Scientific's open architecture approach to PMC Eight allows technically savvy users to develop their own control software and extend the PMC Eight system to meet their individual needs.

Also included is the Losmandy G11 axle extension. This allows the mount to be moved far beyond the Meridian position without hitting the engine housing. In addition, the axis cross can be divided for easier transport.
