Hi Carl - just found this post.
I had similar issues - I'm using a Finder-Guider attached to the left hand side of the scope. Couldn't achieve balance at all until I removed it (even with ADM counterbalance weight hanging off the nose of the RC8)

Fixed by moving the finder guider to the centre holes vacated by the removal of the Losmandy D plate. Locating the 9x50/QHY5 on axis has worked and the scope is balanced well now.

I understand your frustrations Carl.

Doug
