Hi all,
I have a Celestron CGEM mount. The last three times i have set up to use it i have noticed an issue with its movement. When slewing with the hand controller to fine tune the alignment it seems as if the gears within the mount are slipping. I can hear the gears moving but this does not translate to the mount. There is either no movement at all or reduced movement. I am not sure if it is worse in RA or DEC. Would anyone know of a fix or somewhere i can take the mount to get looked at.
Thanks
Jason
