Due to trees, my Mach1 is currently between a fence and a wall and I dare not slew because of the risk of a wall crash. Not a problem because I can manually slew RA then Dec then RA to get to my targe

safe way to load the OTA on the MACH2 32 messages
Hello, I am not new to the hobby but my current OTA makes the set up phase not easy at all. the diameter is 270mm and weight around 19 kg, and I don't feel confident in loading the telescope by myself

Mach2 Guide rate and question about gear meshing. 14 messages
What is the recommended guide rate setting? My experience with premium mounts is that you reduce the guide rate. The other mount I am using recommends .20 or .25 and I've been pretty happy with that.

Factory PEC curve, how is it generated? 4 messages
This question is simply to satisfy my curiosity. To create the factory installed PEC curve I assume each mount must be tested and track a star like source moving at sidereal rate for several worm gear
