Thanks for the ideas, however, its not the balancing that is a problem, its more, that the lens/camera rotate around and point down to the ground when the mount is not looking down due to the excessive weight in the frontal element. the tripod collars' foot does not have enough surface area to create enough friction to stop it rotating on the screw...
I plan to make a side by side setup for the camera+lens and guidescope, but that wont solve the problem of the lens rotating on the mounting screw..
