Unbalanced Dob

Hi Guys,

My recently purchased Guan Sheng GS-680 seems to be unbalanced on its mount. When the scope gets to about 25-30 degrees of the zenith then it starts to slowly go to its vertical position. Hope I am making sense.

I spoke to Andrews over the phone (I am in Melb) and they have sold 100's of this model and haven't heard of any balancing issues. Given that I am in Melbourne and they are in Sydney I told them that I would photograph/film the set-up and email it to them to assist.

I think I installed the mount as per instruction. Also, the springs don't seem to make any difference.

Anyone here had such a problem ?

Appreciate any advice if possible.

Many Thanks.
