With larger refractors the weight location is often a problem. My iStar 127 f12 has all of its weight out at the front, even after I add the diagonal and EP (the Moonlight was probably a bad idea from the standpoint of balance). On the NEQ6 most of the scope is hanging off the back, and I am sitting on the ground even with the tripod at maximum height. I need to find some counter-weights.
