Hello,


When I read the Article about balancing the telescope on an EQ mount (in Projects & Articles) it mentioned that the counterweight rod should be positioned over one of the legs.

When I view Tandum's HEQ5Pro in the Classifieds I see that that is the case. (see image attachment, HEQ5Pro.jpg).

However, on my EQ6Pro there just does not seem to be a way to do this. the mount can only sit on the tripod one way, and the azimuth screws could not turn the mount around far enough.

I do not think that i can rotate in any other axis so that the counterweight rod lies over a leg of the tripod. See the EQ6Pro jpg's.

Is that normal? or should i look behind the door for my brain?

thanks for any assistance.
