I have recently purchased a Meade ETX125 and I am having problems with the
Autostar controller. In Manual mode using the arrow keys, it will only
move
along the vertical. When I try and move either left OR right it just makes
a
horrible whinning noise. Can anyone help please?

Have you set the clamp for that axis? Will it slew in that axis for a goto?
