Hoping for a little help - ED80 s Orion starshoot - focus position too far back

Hoping the helpful community can advise

I recently changed from DSLR to an Orion Starshoot (v1) for imaging

It reached focus but right at the back focus limit which leaves the scope dangerously unbalanced. Short of adding weight to the front of the scope (ED80) I'm not sure what the solution is. Adding an extension tube might bring focus closer in but still leaves the dec balance issue.

Any help greatly appreciated

Many thanks

Niko
