Two ways to balance: by dovetail or by tube rings. I always prefer the latter, ie to balance by sliding the tube up and down the tube rings. I like whatever mounting plate is fitted, to be in the middle of the dec axis. Only problem can be if you have widely spaced tube rings, there may not be enough travel to shift the tube. Solution is to mount with a shorter base plate or dovetail.
