Hi Guys (and girls).

I have been out of the game for a while but have recently got back into it.
I have a Heq5 and a GSO 8" newt which im trying to get going as an imaging scope.
I bought an orion 80mm guidescope and mounted it. The problem is, I can't get it to balance, it appears the scope, guidescope and camera are too heavy to be balanced by the weights that came with the scope.
Is it a matter of adding more weights to the counterweight end?..or is it as i fear, that I am pushing the mount beyond its capabilities?..The stats when I bought the mount stated it WOULD take the load, but im worried now that I have been done by the oldest trick in the book, and believed the stats that sellers provide.

Question 2, can I use an off axis guider with an auitoguider?..I have a celestron nexguide auto guider (from ebay for $200 ...Bargin), Im not sure if it can be used through an OAG.

Please excuse my ignorance..

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
