Balancing a Dob for high power
Hello Everybody,
I recently bought a Dob and have some trouble with high power observing as no matter how tight I make the clutches either side - the scopes keeps moving upwards when viewing Jupiter.
I adjusted the studs on either side and found equilibrium for a 45 deg angle of the scope with my high power barlow/EP assembly but when I go for Jupiter (being not 45 deg) it still moves upwards.
What is the trick? Or do I need some sort of counterweight mechanism?
