Hey Paul. Just came across your old post. I put mine on the scope for the very first time last night. The actual installation part went well, but when I tried to run the calibration procedure it sounded like the motor was hitting some resistance. So after removing it and trying again three times, I decided to risk it and let the routine run till the end.


After completion, I manually adjusted the motor with hand controller and it acted and sounded like every other Youtube video out there.


Thought I'd bring this up as Celestron's instructions are not the best out there. My best guess is the routine was rotating slowly so it doesn't exceed the focuser's limits??????


Another point I took away from your experience is the Set Screw came with blue locktight already on it. I'm sure I removed most of it when I removed the focuser three or four times. So I guess I need to be aware of this in the future and keep an eye out.


I hope this also helps somebody out there.
