troubles balancing takahashi
Hey guys,
I recently purchased an fsq-106 to put on top my skywatcher EQ6. The mounting plate that came with it was no good so I purchased a losmandy dovetail which fits my mount. The screws that go in to the tube rings didn't fit the holes on the dovetail so I took some advise and drilled them out. Now the tube rings fit on the dovetail plate but the screws for the tube rings sit next to the actual dovetail so I can't move it up and down the mount to balance it. I have tried every combination of holes and tube rings with no luck, the telescope is always grossly out of balance (not even close). Any advice? I have a photo of the plate and rings if required, I'm just having some computer issues and can't upload it (also writing this message on my phone because of it)
Thank guys.
