Remember to balance the Dec (The
Telescope) and then the RA (The Counterweight).. As I just read the G11
instructions.. yet again.. I know they list this backwards..

Mount Clutch Tensions
?
?
I read
the balance instructions for this Losmandy scope Mount. I have to balance the
RA and the Dec axis's before hand. To ensure a minimal load on the servo motors
during the scope movement. I played with this in the room here and saw what too
loose of a clutch can do. Scope will flip-flop around. Have to be careful not
to damage the scope and hold it with your hand while doing the balancing.
So I sort have a mediocre tension on those. From a 1-10 scale probably a 4 or
5...
Thanks for your input!
