Hi Michael,

Yes, a small flat on the balance shaft would work. I had not thought of that. Having the battery pack/cradle on a bearing race won't work as it needs to be fixed in relation to the telescope in order to preserve the balance achieved in each of the the two axes.

Reading my last post when I referred to "... any discrepancy will be absorbed when balancing the system with the mount in the horizontal position" I should have referred to the telescope being in the horizontal position, not the mount.

Cheers

Steve.
