There is a gradient on the picture that needs to be sorted out; probably one of the filters is not properly attached.

Losmandy G11 back in business

G11 back on pier after complete relube, ready to rock & roll. Waiting for some clear night sky to polar align (damn fires).

AR running nice and smoothly as never seen.

G11 degreased & relubed Ago24

First disassembly ever, to degresase and relub my 2008 mount.

Easy to do,  though degreasing is quite boring and time consuming.

Done with isopropil alcohol. Waiting for superlube delivery, which is due on Monday.

Then, hope no parts are left on the table after full assembly :-)
