Help with pittman motor

 

I have a 13V 8000 series pittman servo motor with a 207:1 Gear Ratio (I think) 250 CPR that has started drawing about 1.3A and is running really slow.
Anyone have this problem that might know how to cure? I 'suspect' a magnet? or field coil came unstuck from the case, but would like any ideas before trying to disassemble it. This is actually on a Celestron Nexstar 8i, but I have about 8 other Pitman 8000 motors that I have experimented with with my sitech 1 controller and made a 10" dob <?/g/Sitechservo/album?id=100077?> system.
I guess I'll be able to fix it eventually, from motor swapping parts, but I'm at Starfest in Ontario, and am hoping to fix it today or tomorrow.
IDEAS???

This is my first image taken with my new Player One Saturn - M SQR camera. It has a larger pixel size (3.76 microns) and I believe it mates well with the C14. This was taken at a focal length of around 8000mm. I also experimented with some new processing techniques and borrowed heavily from Damian Peach's masterful?

Wow Brian! I do most of my imaging with a C14 at f5 but after seeing your Jupiter, I may start doing planets!

This data set, consisting of two RGB images taken over three minutes was taken under very good conditions. Actually, some of the best seeing I have experienced in a very long time:

I did actually re-process in Pixinsight and slightly increased the sharpening.

Is there any processing you can apply to sharpen it further?

Here is a combination of two RGB images taken over six minutes under good seeing:

That's really nice Brian - the iconic view of Jupiter. :)

Thanks Bob! I was at maybe f/25 with my CC14. I use the ZWO ASI 290M camera. I capture with FireCapture and use Autostakkert 3 to align and stack. I then use Registax 6 for wavelets with final processing (deconvulusion) with PixInsight and resizing and final touches in Photoshop.

Very well-done Brian!
What was the focal length and the camera used?
How was the image processed??

Nice Brian, I'm a galaxy imager, but I do love these planetary images, it makes me remember how special our own planet is. Thanks for sharing.

Mostly average seeing this night, but I managed two decent data sets:

Re: CGX-L Group?

 

Ajay,

It doesn't look like there is a group.io for CGX-L owners.? I own one and would be willing to join the group and/or try to answer questions you might have.? Celestron hosts a customer blog and a good FAQ which I have used in the past but I have also relied upon their technical support team and the retailer from whom I purchased the mount.

CGX-L Group?

 

Hello,

Is there a CGX-L group somewhere? I am facing a problem with my CGX-L mount.

Thank You
