Now, with the magnets - I am not sure if I got you. Did you attach the magnets to the outside of the mirror cell?

Max,
The scope is most likely moving up because of the increased weight off axis due to the long barlow + EP at high angles. If it was just a weight problem the tube would also tend to drift down at low angles. Does it do that as well?
The magnets stick themselves to the metal frame holding the mirror. I have a 12 inch DOB as well, so there is plenty of space for them.
