Re: DEC stalls on new mount

Is it possible you are not balanced on the DEC axis? It should be roughly balanced with a little bias towards the camera ? Thanks ? Brian ? ? Brian Valente Brianvalentephotography.com ?

Subject: [Losmandy_users] DEC stalls on new mount? ? Hi, I just received my GM811 today and I¡¯ve been setting it up and testing indoors to get familiar (it is, of course, raining here in northern Virginia). I have everything hooked up (RA and DEC cables, power to gemini, hand controller attached). I have 16V DC going into the gemini box. ? I have my C8 in the saddle and balanced in both axes. ? I power on and run through the quick start procedure and set all the parameters. ? I tried doing some slews from the keypad. Slewing in RA seems to work fine, loudish in my foyer, but fine. ? I next tried to slew in DEC and ... stall. The messages I receive are: and at least one other I didn't note down and can't reproduce but it may have been something like: but I may have that totally wrong. ? Any ideas? I don't see anything in the troubleshooting in and searches haven't turned anything that I can tell is directly relevant. ? Thanks, again for any help!
