HOLY CRAP! i was slewing the telescope in 10 degree increments along the RA axis to try and get it to its park position and all of a sudden it was like it let go and rotated telescope down, probably smashed into the pier and F*&%d my new scope that hasn't even seen first light !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is like something is pulling it down with force but that makes no sense, it was well balanced and the cables are all cleaned up. needless to say i am seriously concerned now
