CGX EQ - Balance Southern Hemisphere

Hi There,

Finally have moved from ALT/AZ to EQ, essentially for better tracking with imaging.

My understanding is to use our version of the south polar star for allignment, but what interests me, is whether the mount should be balanced "east or west" heavy ?

For northern hemisphere, I understand it is east, would it not be slightly balanced to the west for southern users ?

Cheers,

Lance
