Thank you so much for spending the time on your extensive response, I really appreciate that. I think you may have hit the nail on the head regarding the gearing as it was at +31x144 (I assume a default setting from the battery failure). I entered what you said and I think one of the motors kicked in suddenly after pressing "enter". This, I assume would also explain the scope coming to a stop and reversing (without any danger of the scope hitting the mount) as it did the other night.
Thanks again, I realize you put some time into your response. I am now looking forward to tonight.
I will keep you posted.
P.S. Just to explain, my brother (Blink 138) posted this on equipment discussions on my behalf as I only posted it on beginners talk.
