testing mount without load


Linda Thomas-Fowler
 

I¡¯m working on getting my GM811 set up with software and I had a question about what was the appropriate way to run the mount without any OTA. Should I remove the counterweight shaft or leave the shaft attached but without any counterweights?

If I do¡¯t hook gemini up to the mount it complains about stalls I guess since it¡¯s not getting any signals from the Dec or RA axes.

What¡¯s the right way to go about this?

Thanks!
