Tracker..

I have brought myself a new ball head, as it's 400gm and takes 12kg load.. the other head was way too heavy.. it was about 700gm.. I have done my math.. by adjusting the telescope so it balance.. I don't have any counter weights.. as the scope itself is about 3kg.. then the camera body with battery (900gm) so it's all under 5kg.. I had a struggle last night.. as the balance of the scope wasn't right.. allowing me to zoom in and back. so I have fixed during daylight.. and now it fix.. so tonight. (finger cross) clear sky.. I will try again..
