Storing Losmandy G11G DEC horizontally

Deric Caselli All Messages By This Member #67489 Hello everyone, It is my understanding that it is best to keep a SCT stored vertically Collector plate up and secondary mirror set all the way back. If I keep it mounted on the G11. Is it okay to keep the DEC and counter weight parked in the horizontal position ? Does this put stress on the worm gear??? Other than this off the wall question every thing with my G11G is working like a champ. I had a rough start but got it together thanks to everyone here and especially Brian. THANK YOU HAPPY SKIES AND KEEP LOOKING UP
