Issue with CGEM mount
I have a CGEM mount which I am having some issues with and hope that someone here might be able to shed some light on the issue.
The mount is carrying a 11" Celestron tube and I have balanced it in accordance with the instructions. The issue I have is that the mount is making what is best described as a sound that suggests that the worm gears are not meshing and instead are jumping along the top of the gear. The mount wont track when this occurs and killing the power with the switch is the only way to stop the noise. This then results in having to re-align and start from scratch again.
Is my assumption that the mount is not quite balanced correctly the likely cause or is this likely to be something more sinister. I have already had to have the MC card replaced as it was faulty and I haven't really had a chance to use the scope that much since due to poor health. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
