I recently felt a tingle in my eyelashes from the Polarscope on my EQ6 pro mount. Because my 2 Mallincams also "tingle" I decided to test them with a Multimeter.

The Mallincams leak 0.07 - 0.13 volts but this increases to 0.17 - 0.21 volts when their heater/ coolers are switched on. The EQ6 pro leaks 0.06-0.07 volts but rises to 0.21-0.23 volts when the motors are at full speed.

I will test some other mounts at Astrofest. Don from Bintel and Rob at Skywatcher could not explain
