Thank you for your message. Sorry I was not clear enough. The motors are indeed rather noisy while slewing at full speed, and I don't care about this, but what I report here is something different.

When the mount is about to reach the park position (i.e. in the decelerating phase), the noise level increases suddenly and it becomes VERY loud, to the point that I was afraid that it could damage the motors.

Thank you Jasem for your message. I never used the handset but it never happened with an ASIAIR.

Hi everyone,

this is my first message here. I am new to the Indi/Ekos word, so far I have managed to successfully run all my devices (mount, camera, guide camera, focuser and filter wheel) and played a bit with the interface indoors.

Each time I ask the mount to park, the motors make a strong screeching noise just before reaching the park position. My mount is an AZ-EQ6 connected to the Pi4 with an Eqmod cable.

I am wondering whether I did something wrong? As far as I know I did not change anything from the default settings (except recording the actual park position, but the problem was already present before).

Thanks for your help,

best regards,

Dan
