A Question for the G11 Owners

Hi Guys.

Could I please ask about the Alt and Dec clutch locking devices on the G11 mount.

Obviously when the scope is being used they are very secure and It is said that you cannot damage the clutches if you over tighten the locks.

When I have finished for the night, I tend to release the clutch knobs to release the continuous pressure that would be applied if they were left locked.

My question is, is this necessary, or dose it not matter if they, the locks are left for extended periods of time in the locked position.

Many thanks for your anticipated response.

Leon
