I just got my scope fully set up yesterday on StPatrick's day. The mount is an HEQ5. Last night for sh-ts and kicks I was looking at the moon through my window upstairs in my room. There was thick haze all night so It was basically to learn the controls of the drives etc. Now for the question. As the moon rose up higher in the sky I was able to slew the drive left and right using the DEC buttons on the controller (controller is the same controller for the EQ6 Mount, both mounts are very similar) however when I go to follow the moon Up, I can Not slew the drive up, or down using the RA buttons. If I put my ear to the Mount I can hear the drives humming in there, but there is clearly no movement, so I have been using the Altitude Adjustment T-bolts, to slew the scope upward, and downward. This is my first time dealing with drive motors so I am not sure if this is normal or what? Little help Please. Thanks.
