i had this very problem the other night when trying to balance the 400d with battery grip (who needs AC mains when you've got two x 1200mAh batteries powering your camera? puts the canon 720mAh batteries to shame), which i fairly heavy, attached to teh ed80. my though was to get a longer dovetail made up so that it would stick out backwards over (under?) the focuser, or possibly drill and tap another hole into teh existing dovetail so that i can adjust teh ring spacing and allow the dovetail to sit back under the focuser a bit more....
but velcro and weights seems a more elegant option.
