Will adjusting my Skywatcher 5.1 break the attached motor?
Just bought a motor today for my Skywatcher 5.1" (Simple Type EQ2-Made in
China) Looks like a cheap motor but we'll see. From what I can see it installs on one of those fine adjustment knobs. My question is if I want to adjust it using the wheel on the other side of the mount (eq2) will it break the motor? Thanks in advance, J |

That is, if you try to use the RA adjustment knob while the motor is engaged (via the motor's thumbscrew) you will break the motor. Please carefully read the manual that should have come with the motor. If you lost the manual, go here to download the .pdf (Acrobat) file: http://www.telescope.com/text/conten...astrotrack.pdf |
