Guest CodnorPaul Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hi - I have a basic mount with slow motion tracking for a starter scope (4" reflector). The slow motion tracking (left to right - not sure that is the technical term) appears to have stopped moving. You can turn it but the scope doesnt move, although I think it feels as though it is gripping. Any thoughts on how to fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has a clutch (to release the mount for moving by hand) then make sure that is fully tightened up. Also check where the slow mo control connects to the mount : there should be a tiny grub screw. Check that's tight as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
