G'day Calvin, I'm in Trinity Park !
Actually, I'm in Surfers Paradise visiting my daughter / picking up scope and HEQ5 Pro.
What's all this about the counterweights fouling the leg of the mount ? I'm new to all this too and hadn't even considered the possibility as the one time use here so far was at 27 degrees. Bloody typical.

EDIT - ordered one from Astroshop Australia. $189 delivered. My scope is a 1200mm FL 127mm refractor so I figured it would kill 2 birds with one stone - no more clashing with tripod legs and no more groveling in the dirt attempting to look at things on the zenith. I'm not getting any younger ! (49)
