Aside from not getting any manual/literature for the OTA, or the Starry Night software that was supposed to come with it, I have one possible concern: When slewing at 7-9 the gears make a rattling/grinding sound just for a second or so before going to a nice whirring sound. Is that the usual case or do I need to worry? Thanks, John
