problem Help! SynScan GOTO EQ3 upgrade skipping steps?

[gutaker]

Hi guys, it's my first post here, so Hello!

My synscan goto upgrade started to act like in this video of mine SynScan GOTO Skipping after being disassembled for few weeks in the closet. There were no such problems before.

When it slews at rates above x3 everything is fine and smooth but as soon as it starts tracking at x3, it skips steps or something like that.

My setup is eq3-2 on alu and SW 150/750 with Canon 700D attached.

Thanks in advance for any clues or ideas!

It turned out ot be some kind of RA axis lock. Probably the clutch were tighten too much one time and sticked to heavily greased (with cheap chinese grease) axis.

Stripped down the mount, cleaned and regreased it the right way and now it's working like a charm.

Clear Skies!
