Gotostar question

Hi,

I recently bought a Gotostar kit for my Vixen GP mount. All is OK, but the motors emit an annoying buzz when they are not performing a goto movement.

I just want to know if this is normal in this kind of motors or I have a defective kit.

Thanks

Jesus

Hi Jesus,
A friend of mine has a Meade LXD 55 which is similar to the GP (I think). While not as loud as my LX200 you could tell when he was slewing in the dark. :S

Other then the funny noise the motors make how do you like the GOTOSTAR? Are the GOTO's accurate? I was thinking of getting one for my Vixen GP. smile
