I meant if I adjust the counterweight after alignment to accommodate for my imaging equipment, I run the risk of moving the mount out of alignment slightly.
I have a computerized mount so I have to do my polar alignment with either telescope or camera to centre stars to successfully align.
Which means if I do it through telescope and eyepiece, once I'm aligned and I attach a heavier camera the balancing is out, which will then affect the tracking on long exposures...
That's why before I start anything the counterweight is balanced perfectly with my imaging equipment.
Am I missing something here? How could I do accurate alignment without my scope?
