If you can clear the DEC motors on your mount I'd rather have the camera facing up. If you're facing down the cold air will fall onto the MPCC or nosepiece and the other side of the glass with ambient air will fog up. If you can't get a couple of counter weights (magnets) and stick them opposite inline with the focuser and camera. If you still can't then wind down your counter weight 2 to 3 turns when you shift West so your scope doesn't fall on the other side and your mount still pushes the counterweight up against the load pushing back East.
