Hi Bob,
?
When was the last time you regreased the mount? Grease starts to break down over time, and starts absorbing moisture from the atmosphere. When temperatures fall below freezing, grease becomes harder and can cause binding.?

I have searched here for "COLD WEATHER TRACKING PROBLEMS" without any success.?
Here in Maryland the weather has been as low as 4 deg F and in teens at night - rare for us. I have a G11 remotely controlled in roro observatory. I'm getting stall notices first in RA and the next night in RA and DEC. I tried adjusting the worm gears and still had the same issue which I have never had in the past? 9 years. Electrical supply is very robust. Balance hasn't changed that I can tell. Maybe time to upgrade motors...?
Any thoughts or ideas would be most appreciated.
Oh these cold dry nights are awesome for us here in the Free State.
Thanks, Bob
