Hi All
Thanks for your comments. I have stripped my HEQ5-Pro load down to about 11.5kg (200mm RC, 80mm Meade scopes; QHY8 imaging, DSI2 guiding cameras; Telrad; mounting plate). This requires 17.5kg of balancing
weights adjusted as required to give appropriate left or right weight bias.
A quick 10min image of the Little Beehive M41 cluster last night before
the cloud moved in indicates that the above arrangement is now working
sweetly. See attached image.
Cheers Peter
