Back to your comment Geoff, I've also seen Roland's advice on the AP GTO Yahoo Group that balance doesn't matter with an AP mount. Re the link that Peter provided and the 3600 user's tracking issues with an out-of-balance mount, it does seem strange for such a measly load (7" refractor + 8300cam) on such a whopping big mount! He must have been way out?

Any of you AP 1100, 1600 and 3600 guys employing the fish scales?
