Grinding noise while slewing

Hi!

I just received the nyx and hooked it up. While slewing I can hear a "grinding" sound - especially notable while starting/stopping the slew but noticeable during the slew as well. Should I be concerned? I've seen this reported by others on CN as well.

Cheers

(UPDATE - Mount returned)

Nyx-101 with EQ6 tripod+extension?

Hi!

Looking to mount an 8"/F5 ONTC (carbon fibre) to a NYX-101 using the following:

- Skywatcher Tripod EQ-6
- Skywatcher EQ-6 Extension Tube
- PegasusAstro Universal Tripod Adapter for NYX-101

Will my ota will stay clear from the tripod with the extension tube?

Many thanks.

Re: NYX-101 and EKOS/IndiLib

Hi!

Quick Q: can anybody confirm that the mount works with Astroberry (EKOS/IndiLib)? If not, what issues have you experienced?

Ultimate Powerbox v2 - RJ45 (motor) connection does not lock

*** UPDATE *** After a more thorough inspection I realized that the PB must have been used before. As this was my first attempt and it couldn't latch somebody else must have messed wit it. I've contacted the distributor. ***************** Hi! When connecting an RJ45 connector to my Powerbox's motor ...

Indi can't connect to Ultimate Powerbox v2 (SOLVED!)

Please disregard! I had, obviously, selected the wrong device type in Indi. It's not very clear which device each abbreviation stands for in the list. Of course selecting the *correct* one made my RPi+UPBv2 happy campers! Cheers ****************************************** Hi! I have a RPi4B connected...
