ED80 and 450D Dec Balance on an EQ6

Morning All,

I seem to be having a bit of a problem achieving balance on the Dec axis using the SWED80 with Canon 450D attached. The problem is once the extension tube and camera are on the rig becomes very "back-heavy" (due to the weight of the camera), and I have no more room to slide either the OTA forward in the rings OR the dovetail forward on the mount.

Any and all responses welcome, the cheaper the better
