[VK2KR]

Hi

I have just picked up a 2nd hand 8" Dob to take to Lostock next weekend,
however with the Crayford style focuser it will not hold position when at
close to horizontal. The 30mm WF lens (Gawd it's huge) is another kilo
and does not help.

Anyone know if there is a source of counterweights (6" steel circles?)
that are readily available to help balance the tube?

Also picked up my drought breaker 12" GSO dob, but that stays home.

Many thanks
