Re: AP1100 CP4 pier crash

Won't the motor trip a fault and stop if it hits with the clutch tight?  I think I remember that happening to me once when my meridian flip time was off a little bit. 





Thanks,
Charles

Good to hear. But my clutches are snug tight with a key. I am getting in tonight to see what the fall out is if any.

Did I do any damage?
Probably not. Especially if your clutches were not super tight.

I left my Mach2 running all night last night, forgot to turn off power. This morning the scope was up against the pier. Nothing damaged except my self esteem. ;^(

Hi All,

It happened while I was sleeping and it was tracking on its target. I think it crashed maybe 5-10 min before I intervened. Did I do any damage? It scope is at a remote observatory 2100 miles away and can't get there to investigate.
