RaDec Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 That's normal Greg - the RA motor tracks the objects moving through the sky due to the rotation of the planet, whereas the Dec motor is only needed to locate another object in a different part of the sky - ie at a different Dec angle (latitude). Fully normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
