Problems for new 12 LX200 GPS UHTC

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
It might not be a bad idea to check under the covers, and also check for anything extraneous in the gears...
I have not had any problems with my scope, but when installing some upgrades I found a metal shaving that was pretty big, very close to some gears. Needless to say, I was lucky & happy at the same time, since I got to remove it before it caused any issues...


Clear skies!

P.S.
Just be careful when you do that, and ensure that your scope (OTA) is in a safe position when you do it... (specially if you are to unlock DEC to open any covers)

Great shot Mark!
Looks like this one takes a lot of work to Image... as it seems it is a very faint one, is it true?
