That's a really neat solution, I hadn't thought about ankle weights!
I have the opposite problem, I have a C9.25 on an Evolution altaz mount which is top heavy. Moving it further back into the mount means I can't attach the Barlow and camera I need at high elevation angles. I've tried strapping a hand weight onto the handle but that didn't hold securely enough, and last week I drilled some holes out of a 20cm long Aluminium bar from Bunnings, attached a plastic coated diving weight to it and screwed it into the dovetail holes. It's very industrial looking at the moment but it does help the balance.
Anyone got any other ideas for back weighting the OTA? There'e not a lot a space to move back there.
Thanks, Andrew
