Celestron advanced gt declination motor does not working

Can you hear the motor running even though the axis does not move? If it is, then all that is possibly needed is to realign the motor on its mounting with the driven gear of the axis. This situation is not uncommon in the CG5. Here is a site with a lot of links and information

If the motor is not running at all, it may be the motor has failed, or more likely, the motor controller circuit board has failed. There is a lot of stuff on the Net about that and it seems spare parts are getting hard to find. In that case you may have to return it to a Celestron dealer.

The problem has also arisen before here on Fixya, so you could examine those posts as well

When you are pointed at Polaris--- 90 degrees.

RA moves the polar axis--- and DEC moves the scope from side to side.

There are two knobs that turn these two axis.

This old scope may not be worth repairing-- contact Celestron directly here:

Contact a local telescope dealer for a manual in French.

Try changing out with another one if you can may be some one has like that one see if the problem moves.

Holy man.. response is kinda slow. Good thing I tried it myself.

Sure as heck, you can leave the Right Ascension and Declination clamps tight while using the motors!
It makes a lot of sense, and many things much easier....
Thanks for the.. reply? lol. Just joking.
