counter weights
Thanks everyone for your input, I should have mentioned what I have attached to the mount which is a Skywatcher 102 x 1000 achromat refractor and the mount is the Skywatcher EQ3-2.
I have the bigger weight about half way along the counter weight rod and the set up is balanced ok.
What I have found is the set up is very touchy the image shakes a fair when I touch the scope and gets worse with higher power eyepiece ( I understand why this happens). If I move the heavier weight closer to the mounting point which has been said will increase stability I should then be able to position the smaller weight to achieve balance. Would that be a fair assumption?
