RA motor heating up
« on: June 08, 2015, 14:16:18 »

Hi there wonder if anyone could help me. I turn the pot on the RA whilst the motor is slewing til it gets just starting to go warm. It will slew and track without getting hot. But, when the motor is idle it really gets hot, so hot in fact you can hardly touch it. I then have to back it right off to stop it doing this and once again the motor is stone cold when tracking/slewing. The dec is fine. These are the skywatcher dual axis motors. Thanks in advance for any help you may offer to me...Geoff
