From the AP suggestions:
Quote:
We recommend a slightly heavy RA balance towards the counterweights and a slightly heavy Dec balance toward the
camera end of the scope when imaging.

Can someone explain what is the logic behind this? Balancing the RA so it is slightly "counterweight heavy" goes "half the times" against the usual "East heavy" rule (for the cheaper mounts like EQ6).
And why "camera heavy" for the DEC?
