While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction here.
I was noticing that when in a high speed slew the RA axis continues
moving a little in one direction.
I do not remember the direction I was pressing on the keypad but
with the diagonal in place and a 12mm guiding EP when I slew so the
star move from right to left in the EP it will continue move to the left
I do not see this at a slower speed slew or at lest haven't noticed it

any idea's what is causing it? I have a 2lbs weight in the east fork arm
is it maybe to much weight?

TIA
