Stickion?

Thanks

Slightly OT, but in your answer you mention bearing 'stickion'.

Is it then a compromise in having enough 'stickion' so the dob doesn't 'wander' off by itself with say changes in eyepieces etc and too much 'stickion' which might put strain on a go-to system like the servo-cat possibly causing premature failure?

Or are the standard teflon bearings used on a dob never that slippery to have this problem.

Cheers
