EQ6 Pro question??
      07/02/09 09:56 AM

Hi,
I just recently bought a Skywatcher EQ6 Pro and i just have a few basic questions that I want to ask you guys.

1. When I turn my mount on, 2 seconds after I flick the swich, a high pitch electrical sound can be heard. Is this normal? Its not really loud but it can be heard quite clearly in my living room with the tv going. Im using a 12V DC power source at 10AMPS.

2. When I have my mount set up and Im using the hand controler to slew to objects in the sky, should the RA and DEC locking levers be locked tight or unlocked and loose. I accidently had them locked one time but it didn't seem to make a difference when slewing.

Cheers for the help, Angus
