Hi all, my 10" dob makes very loud squeaky sounds when moved around manually. In GOTO mode its fine. In the dead of night it is very loud when I move it around by hand. Really want to do something about it but because its a GOTO im a bit worried about loosening/tightening things up myself.

I know WD40 would stop the squeaky noise but would probably then ruin the GOTO gears!!

Any suggestions on how to fix this? Its not even a year old.
