*Thread revival.
I have the same scope, skywatcher 10" GOTO dob, and as described it does the same thing only on the azimuth. Altitude movement is fine.
It feels like it is hopping over the gear teeth and quite difficult to move, so much that it would even drag the feet around on the ground given the surface is loose or not grippy enough.
I was under the impression you could move it manually if needed.
Quoted from the SkyWatcher site "The patented dual encoder design allows the telescope to be moved manually whenever the user wishes - but with no need for re-alignment!"
Unless they only mean slewing manually with the hand controller??
Does anyone else have the same experience or is this a minority issue?
