Normal EQ5 noise?

[DeepThought]

Hi

Just a quick question as I get to grips with my EQ5 pro which I picked up second hand this weekend.

How much noise is normal when it is tracking?  There's a definite cyclic whirring from the mount as the motor turns and I don't know if it could benefit from a minor service.

I'd rather not take it apart as I know how dangerous I can be armed just with a screwdriver and good intentions but if that's what it needs then so be it.

Cheers

Limited experience here, but the EQ6 I've used is fairly noisy when tracking, it also makes a repeating sound.

There all noisy nothing to worry about......

Thanks for the reassurance, tonight is all about reticule alignment and setting circles so I'll no doubt be posting again shortly.
