Re: G-11/Gemini problem: "Motors Stalled!"
      09/29/09 12:13 AM

Hello,
Here are some things to check off: -

a] At start-up, but without running any alignment attempt, can you move in DEC / RA?

b] Have you checked the balance of your equipment on both axes?

c] How are you powering your equipment? You want to make sure that a clean and stable 13.8v (minimum) is being presented to the mount.

Hope this helps..,

Regards,

skybsd
