Hi Cliff,
I have found that it does not take much off centre weight to cause imbalance issues for longer focal length scopes on these mounts. In my case the standard, relatively light weight finder scope on my 1500mm focal length Skywatcher Mak127 was causing the problem.
I’ll set up the scope this weekend when the weather clears and take some photos to show you how I have balanced everything, especially when the scope is in the vertical position.
Steve.
