It can not find the sun, the problem seems to be the stepper in the Y direction is grinding when the telescope is in the verttical position ___end___ **PSPT PROBLEM COMMENT BY GREG**: Mon Jun 3 01:24:28 GMT 2013 I pulled the cover off of the drive to diagnose. The stepper has a collar to a worm drive and worm drive spins a sprocket gear. The grinding noise was not the worm drive sprocket connection. The noise was only from the steeper missing steps probably not enough torque. I could not locate what or where it is held up on or binding. I ran out time because this happened at the end of the day. ___end___ Mon Jun 3 01:29:49 GMT 2013 MkIV 17_00.rawmk4 17_05.rawmk4
