I have a Celestron CI-700 mount. It seems that, even when I have the OTA balanced, the motors seem to be working hard to slew. The worms are much easier to turn manually with the knobs (disengaged from the motors) when the clutches are loose as compared to when the clutches are tight and engaged with the shaft/bearings/dovetail/OTA.
Are there any web sites that detail how to adjust/tune-up the mount? Or, does anyone have the info that they can post on this thread?
What are your experiences with this mount?
I am basically happy with the mount and, with it, I have enjoyed many observing sessions.
I am currently saving up for a Losmandy Gemini GoTo add-on for the mount and I am concerned that the Losmandy motors will struggle with the worms, so to speak.
