Hi,
Just wondering if anybody has had the same issue with their EQ6 mount that I have just encountered.

The mount is plugged into a 12V 8amp converter along with a couple of 12V fans for the DSI and primary mirror fan and whilst using it last night the mount stalled on me a couple of times and after a reboot of the EQ6 mount and reset EQ6mod and my planetarium software all was good until the next stall. (Sounded like a clunk)

I have 2 x 12v Cig adaptors piggybacked, the EQ6 was plugged into the piggy backed adaptor so I changed this to the main and all was good.

I did notice the RA Scale was not moving with the mount whilst slewing, it stayed in the same spot and it is secure. (Tightend by the two grub screws)

Any ideas to why the RA Scales does not want to move/ Or does it need to move?

The scope is balanced and has around 12-14kg of load.

Many thanks
Paul
