Guess what I just got from my club Vlad? The Nexstar SE mount that had a 5SE SCT on it, fell over and trashed the scope. Club president just called me and asked if I wanted it knowing I only had manual mounts, I won't mention how much I paid, but it is pretty low as the unit is 6 years old. I think these SE videos will come in handy. I would love to see that 24" Dob Vlad.
Great video! It actually STOPPED me from adjusting the clutch, as your clutch check performed on my mount revealed that mine was fine. I think the Aluminum Dew Shield is too heavy for my mount, and was causing it to slip.
Great video , that lens cover you have looks like it's 3D printed . Did you make it yourself or did you find the files elsewere. I just bought a used Nexstar 6se and mine is pretty loose , so i could need a new one.
@@AVTAstro Thank's , i will , i like your videos about the Nexstar 6se. I bought this teleskope to test out the hyperstar , i have a lot of lightpollution and if it works out , i might buy the 8" for my observatory. Thank's.
I've seen in another video you have a celestron 127 mak on am slt mount, can this same procedure be done on a mount like that? Thats the scope I have and it seems loose, tried the backlash adjustment from your video on that but it didn't seem to help, thanks for the help!
Thank You. Also my circular (azimuth) gear mesh is not tight enough, so I get a little back and forth play. I'm working on that azimuth play but you elevation fix is great.
i had that problem on the 4se i took off the plate and I tightened the nut 🔩 but i was wondering since i probably manually moved the telescope due to the loose screw i have redo a particular align procedure for the positioning of the motor?
I have a nexstar evolution 8, so the mount is different but the problem is similar, also I happened to have the motor running idle a couple of times. I wish I could resolve this, but is the mount really that different? I'm not sure but it probably all started when I inadvertently mounted the tube too low and pointing towards the azimuth, the backfocus hit the base during movement.
Yeah like I said in the video this is not designed to be dead locked. It's meant to slip if the scope is bumped so that there is no damage to the gear train.
